DSD+2.256 version

[Radioguy789]

Hello. I just updated to this new version and in the previous version 2.254 I see these 2 new boxes that pop up: I am just wondering what these 2 new pop ups are for and how you get stuff to show up in them. If they are important or not. Let me know. Thanks

One shows recent talkgroups, one shows recent radio IDs. See Notes.TXT

Added Current/Seen Groups window. Displays all talkgroups that have been seen during
a user-specified time frame on the currently monitored system.

Added Current/Seen Radios window. Displays either all radios, or all of a selected talkgroup's
radios, that have been seen during a user-specified time frame on the currently monitored system.

Ok and do you know how to add groups and radios to those boxes. I was monitoring the CAP+ system and nothing showed up in those boxes.

 

[mtindor]

I do, but I can't explain it. In order to have CAP+ fully functioning, you have to :

a. add an entry to the DSDplus.networks
b. add an entry to the DSDPlus.sites file for every site you care about on that CAP+ system
c. add entries to the DSDPlus.groups file for every talkgroup on that Cap+ system you want to show up
d. add entries to the DSDPlus.radios file for every radio ID that you want to label for that Cap+ system

And you'll need to read the default information contained in each of those files to know how to set it up.

Do you have an RRDB link to the specific Cap+ system are you monitoring, or is it a CAP+ system not documented in the RRDB?

Ok and yah I have entries in all of those files: Radios, Groups & network’s. ok I don’t know how to read the default info in each of those files. So maybe I am doing something wrong if nothing is showing up.

You didn't answer my question. IS that CAP+ system listed in the RR Database? If so, please provide a link. I'm trying to offer assistance, but pulling teeth is not fun.

Mike

 

[Radioguy789]

Oh sorry. No it’s not in the database.

 

[mtindor]

Oh sorry. No it’s not in the database.

Ok. Just so you understand where I am going, when you ask a question like you've asked, you need to provide every bit of information you can.

a. type of system (CAP+)
b. Is it in the DB? If so, provide RRDB link to it. If not in the DB, provide all the details

frequency / LCN(s) used on the system

And in case you wonder why somebody would ask this, it is so that they could potentially show you exactly what to enter into each of the files. But with zero information, there is little to provide you.

For Cap+ systems, they do not have a System/Network ID. So you have to make up a fictitious one (such as 9999)

DSDPlus.networks (example)
Cap+,9999,"unknown system"

DSDPlus.sites (example)
Cap+,9999,1,"unknown site for unknown system"

DSDPlus.frequencies (example)
# type : sysid : site : LSN (not LCN) : TX freq : RX freq : order
Cap+,9999,1,1,452.0625,457.0625,1
Cap+,9999,1,3,452.1375,457.1375,3
Cap+,9999,1,5,452.1625,457.1625,5
Cap+,9999,1,7,452.3375,457.3375,7
Cap+,9999,1,9,452.4875,457.4875,9
Cap+,9999,1,11,452.5375,457.5375,11
Cap+,9999,1,13,452.6625,457.6625,13
Cap+,9999,1,15,452.7375,457.7375,15

DSDPlus.groups (example)
Cap+, 9999, 1, 50, Normal, 148, 2019/05/21 12:55, "Security"
Cap+, 9999, 2, 50, Normal, 24, 2019/12/07 23:07, "Housekeeping"
Cap+, 9999, 3, 50, Normal, 2, 2018/08/01 10:16, "Plumbing"

And what do these all have in common? The fictitious (made up) system ID of 9999.

Of course you have to set the proper freqs and the proper LSNs
LCN 1 = LSN 1/2
LCN 2 = LSN 3/4
LCN 3 = LSN 5/6
LCN 4 = LSN 7/8
etc

So if you have LCN 1 and LCN 2 in use, in your DSDplus.frequencies file you only need to list the frequencies and the _lower_ of the two LSNs associated with each frequency. If you have 453.3375 and its LCN 1, and you have 454.075 and its LCN is 3, then in your DSDPlus.frequencies file you would have:

Cap+,9999,1,1,453.3375,458.3375,1
Cap+,9999,1,5,454.0750,459.0750,5

Don't confuse LCNs with LSNs.

That's all I can offer you. If you have other questions, post them -- with as much information as possible, and somebody may answer.

Ok thanks will give it a try

 

[slicerwizard]

I've seen a few comments about those windows not populating on Cap+ systems; I tried it and they lit up immediately...

 

[redbeard]

Also once you get it working, submit the info for the system that's not in the DB so it can be added.

I've been having issues with FMP24 and a TCP error since I updated. Somehow I ended up with FMP24 1.6 instead of the current version. I've looked back through the zip files that I've downloaded in the past, and none of them contain FMP24 1.65, so how do I get it?

Something doesn't sound right there. Re-check your version numbers. From a command prompt, run fmp24 -h and look at the first couple lines of output. Your version number definitely should not begin with a 1. Below are the latest versions of various EXEs in Fast Lane.

DSD+ 2.256
FMP24 2.65
FMPA 2.36
FMPP 1.13

Find your DSDPlus 2.228 email (or the last Fast Lane new version notification that you got which has a password included in it). Note the download link that email. It will be https://www.dsdplus.com/dsdplusuploads/FastLane/##########_DSDPlus2p###.zip

* where ########## is unique to your downloads and only your downloads
* where ### is the point release

There are only certain versions kept on the server. Try downloading every version and saving it so that you have it (again, some might not be available). And remember you have to substitute ########## with your own unique string.

https://www.dsdplus.com/dsdplusuploads/FastLane/##########_DSDPlus2p256.zip

Let us which version(s) you are able to download. There should be enough versions (for you) on the server to allow you to get what you need. If there are not, then you'll need to email dsdplusfastlane@gmail.com

tcp protocol error in my last update. Any ideas? 254 and 256

 

[fwradio]

I just updated and am getting the same TCP protocol error. It looks like FMP24 needs an update as well. I don't see where you can update FMP24 though. My version is 2.63 and it looks like there is a newer version that was packaged with DSD+2.45 but I don't seem to have an archive of that one.

 

[mtindor]

See those links I posted a couple posts above? If ya follow the directions I gave you can likely download the version that you need which has the latest FMP* in it.

Find your DSDPlus 2.228 email (or the last Fast Lane new version notification that you got which has a password included in it). Note the download link that email. It will be https://www.dsdplus.com/dsdplusuploads/FastLane/##########_DSDPlus2p###.zip

https://www.dsdplus.com/dsdplusuploads/FastLane/##########_DSDPlus2p254.zip

https://www.dsdplus.com/dsdplusuploads/FastLane/##########_DSDPlus2p256.zip

Let us which version(s) you are able to download. There should be enough versions (for you) on the server to allow you to get what you need. If there are not, then you'll need to email dsdplusfastlane@gmail.com

I forgot to also include:

https://www.dsdplus.com/dsdplusuploads/FastLane/##########_DSDPlus2p246.zip

If you follow the instructions I outlined in the original post, you can download 2p246 and newer. But if you download and unarchive 2p246 into your DSDPlus folder, you'll then want to download each of the versions newer than that afterwards and do the same.

Follow the bouncing ball folks.

Thanks, I fixed the problem. On my end it was two fold.... (1) Microsoft Virus Scan blocked my FMP24 and DSDplus files (during copy). (2) I turned off antivirus and downloaded/transferred everything since 246.

Microsoft antivirus blocking these files is so commonplace that it should be included in the Notes.txt file with the releases.
