It it not designed to search, it is designed to decode. You can see signals in the FMP window, within in the active bandwidth of your hardware, and you may then click on it to tune it. You may also pass new frequencies to FMP while it is running to tune to new segments. A SDR software suite would be more suitable to do that. Once you identify frequencies with digital emissions, I would then point a DSD instance at it.

Sir
Thanks for the effort and reply, I understand how DSD works, my questions were fairly simple, "can it search ranges", I know I can view the tuner window and see the bandwidth range and "click" to monitor a signal.
Others may have found a work around, that is why i asked the question.
Thanks again for the effort.

As @a417 said, DSDplus is not meant for scanning. You can use the FMPx scanlist file, but that's for scanning frequencies that are listed said filed.

If you want to scan, grab SDR# and the frequency scanner plugin listed from RR somewhere and install that. That will give you a limit low and limit high frequency, as well as setting the bandwidth and spacing steps in khz.

If you know the step size you want to search, and write every frequency down, you can put that into the FMP24.SCANLIST file and let it search that way. But other than that, not possible to search limits with dsd currently.


To make listing the frequencies easier, I suggest google sheets or excel and write the first frequency in the A1 box, in the A2 box do A1+6.25 and then select the boxes bottom right of that square and pull down until however far you wish to go.

Thanks Reconrider,
that's what I thought was the only way to scan. I use SDR# for HF work with my Airspy Discovery, I tried the DSD plugin, but never could get it to work.
Thanks again Happy Friday

Yes, I can and have use VB Cable to DSD+ from SDR#, but i like to monitor many analog signals in my search range.

I don't use a plugin for dsd. I use a batch file that opens up fmpa audio capture and route the audio from sdr# to dsd with virtual audio cable program.
