Tomorrow I am going to revisit the parsing of the rfpower= slider value for current TX band. I thought about it earlier and have some fresh ideas.?

When you do a C44|sub tx all on v2.61 or newer firmware radios it returns all info in the TX Band Settings table so there are entries for rfpower= for every band. To top it off the stream returned can be broken into several streams and not always the same lengths or positions in the stream. I need to look for band specific info for the key phrase for parsing, then count the number of characters for the start, then number of characters to actually parse.

I mention this for those not familiar with parsing so they may learn.

I ran into a similar situation when we upgraded our 9-1-1 system here in the County back in 2009 (I was Technical Manager for the County 9-1-1 center). New Jersey uses the Zoo ALI format for ALI info (the name, address, etc info tied to your 10 digit phone number). A residential call ALI length is different than a cellular call. Also position of the fields shifts. The vendor’s parsing software was written for parsing by start position and length of field. I worked with them to rewrite the parsing to use line/start/length, but also use different parameters based on parsing the call type first. Just some background info.

The part of Node Red I find challenging and actually enjoy is learning the different nodes and all the ways to do things with functions. I need to learn node.js as it is very powerful in its capabilities. (And I am supposed to be retired!)
