I have found instructions for the FMP program but not a place to download it.

Check your Windows folder where you installed DSDPlus in, the highlighted one in the screenshot is the FMP program -

re: the dark knight drone dkd2 sdr scanner

BM82557 I tried opening the FMP program and a CMD line box opened up with the following error message bellow in it. The cmd line window doesn't even stay open long enough to screen capture it. I had to capture the picture on my cell phone and hand transfer the text to Windows wordpad. I also am having a problem with the cell phone connection to the laptop. The USB driver is not setting up right. That is a different problem, not connected to the RTL dongles.

Also info on the FMP program is in the FMP text file (see screenshot two posts above)

An example of what I use for my local system is FMP 4 2 28 452.8750

BM82557 I read everything at http://forums.radioreference.com/vo...re/312886-dsd-plus-1-071-fmp.html#post2386527 I understand what has to go into the FMP shortcut target line. But I am not sure of the exact syntax of the target line. Also I don't know the PPM correction value for my dongle or how to find it. Again to me this type of SDR software is so new to me. it is like tiptoeing through an Alligator Farm full of sleeping alligators.

When you create a shortcut, it already has the correct drive/path/exename; you only need to append the four numbers:

- audio out device
- dongle number
- PPM
- MHz

Tune to a known active frequency (like NOAA); adjust PPM until you're centered. Easy peasy. Honest...

re: the dark knight drone dkd2 sdr scanner

So after the exe something like /50 45535? PPM is set at +50. There was a QSO on the local repeater. I used that to set the PPM. I am slowly getting the hang of these SDR dongles

Don't know why you're leaving out the audio device and dongle numbers. Try FMP 1 1 50 455.35

re: the dark knight drone dkd2 sdr scanner

I just jumbled some numbers together. The only number that I am sure of right now is the PPM which is set to +50
