How To Set Up SiteLoader Function

[rkillins]

Would someone be so kind as to explain to me how to use the siteloader featrure?

I've created a siteloader file, but I have no idea now how to use it. I am used to monitoring single systems using this process:

FMP24-CC.bat to tune the control channel
CC.bat to start DSD+ decoding of the cointrol channel
FMP24-VC.bat to tune the voice frequency assignments from the CC
VC.bat to start DSD+ decoding of the voice channels

What process do I need to use to benefit from my siteloader configuration ?

Are there any specific settings in DSD+ that need to be set. My siteloader file is a mix of P25, Con+, Cap+, and conventional. Normally when I monitor P25 trunked and Con+ I am using two instances of DSD+ (CC monitor and VC monitor), my Cap+ just one instance of DSD+ (combined cc/vc monitor), and conventional just one instance of DSD+

Thank you in advance for yoiur supportand patience. I am still trying to figure out how everything works together.

If you think you have the siteloader file syntax correct, press the L key with DSD+ running and a window should open listing all the systems you have entered into the siteloader file. (Use the sites file to cut and paste to speed things along in creating the loader file.) You then can arrow up/down or use your mouse to select what system you want to monitor. You can rearrange the order of the systems by manually editing the siteloader file. It makes selecting a system or particular site much simpler than remembering and typing frequencies into the FMP window.

Siteloader does not start or stop DSD+, it's just an easier way to select and change what system you want to monitor. The system must be full pre-configured in the various DSD files in advance! If a site displays in red it's indicating that you don't have a matching frequencies file entry for the system/site.

Siteloader can also be invoked under the Control menu of Fastlane version 2.228 -

Ahhh ... OK. I get it now.
Thanks guys!

I'm also just starting to look at this. How about if someone could show us their file as an example to see how the format of the syntax is supposed to go.

; you can edit this file while DSD+ is running
;
;
; line format:

;
; trunked network entries:
;
; protocol, networkID, 0, "network name"
;
;
; trunked site entries:
;

; trunked site entries can be copied directly from your DSDPlus.sites file
;
;
; frequency data for P25 trunked sites has to be present in the DSDPlus.P25data file;
; manually tune to P25 control channels to auto-build the DSDPlus.P25data file
;
; frequency data for non-P25 trunked sites has to be present in the DSDPlus.frequencies file;
; this data has to be manually added to the DSDPlus.frequencies file by you
;
; frequency data for conventional channels must be present
; in every conventional channel entry in this file.
; Conventional channel data does not have to be added to any other DSD+ data file
;
;
; data for any site or channel can be present more than once,
; i.e. favorite / frequently monitored channels/sites could be duplicated at the top of this file
