This is the initial release of the DSDPlus/FMP24 AU License Data (FMP-FreqList.csv)
It has only been tested with DSDPlus (FastLane) v2.98.
If earlier versions use the same .csv file format, they should work.
To use this file, after downloading unpack the ".7z" with 7-Zip.
Backup your existing "FMP-FreqList.csv" to another location. If you currently use it.
The only file needed from zip is "FMP-FreqList.csv"
I recommend copying the "FMP-FreqList.csv.log" as well for versioning purposes. It also has some processing stats in it.
Using FMP-FreqList.csv:
FMP24.cfg:
Restart DSDPlus/FMP24
Enjoy.
AU License Data
Limits of this type of file is that one frequency may have multiple entries in your area. DSDPlus I think shows the closest, which may not be the right one. Current solution would be comment out (use ';') unwanted entries.
Another nice feature in a up and coming version of DSDPlus FL (v2.1xx) is the displaying of heading. Useful for those of us that use a rotatable antenna. Shown in image as "179 deg".
Let me know what you think.

7-zip used because it was almost double the compression of a .zip

With DSDPlus/FMP24 stopped.
Copy FMP-FreqList.csv to your DSDplus working folder
FMP24.cfg:
- Update "search origin" line to your location. This is a must to show frequency info in YOUR area.
- Set "search distance" to about 50 KMs (Or whatever you RX area is. Larger will show more but it can be to much)
Restart DSDPlus/FMP24
Enjoy.
