sds100 radio id.s needed Please

[Stevendotson]

1st post be nice. I need for my sds100 radio id.s for the D/fw. Area Please. I have allready started saving them in the radio. I started the recorder function for hurst this morning. If anyone would like to share some of there hard work it is much appreciated . Thank You all

What do you mean by 'id.s' exactly? Do you mean IDs, the plural of ID as in RID or radio IDs? Or are you looking for the frequencies of certain agencies? You mentioned using the recording feature, perhaps you are referring to the callsigns of the units as spoken over the air? If you need to, use our wiki and look up some terms to better and more accurately describe what you are looking for.

If you are looking for who the user is by RADIO USER ID I do not think you are going to find many willing to share personal data.
Just think how would you like someone to share your name worldwide.

 

[Stevendotson]

Yes radio id like police unit # are fire engine # etc. I know it's someone's hard work to ask for them to share it but it don.t cost to ask for it. Thanks for the replies

The NTIRN system has some users that their subscriber radio will over-the-air send a plain text alias. The SDS series scanners cannot decode the alias at this time, but with an SDR radio ($35 each - but 2 SDR radios is recommended for optimal decoding) and software (I use DSDPlus Fastlane - $25 lifetime) you can decode them using your computer.

Last I checked, those of us that monitor NTIRN with DSDPlus have decoded over 5,000 aliases (all aliases are uploaded to the cloud and if you have received a radio that someone else has previously got their alias, it will download it from the cloud, so you aren't waiting to recapture what others have done already) - but my last trip near Hurst (early March) didn't pick up any, so their radios may not be sending the over-the-air aliases.

The problem is, the file DSDPlus produces would have to be manipulated quite a bit to get something to load into Sentinel (or the SDS scanner app of your choice to make it useable for that scanner.

So dsdplus NTIRN plain text alias.file is what I need to download are if someone could send it I could edit it and use the radio id.s that I want. Are install dsdplus and try to get it to save the aliases for me..

The SDS Series will decode NXDN Over the Air Alias But for DMR and P25 it just shows the Radio UID.

Expect a significant learning curve with DSDPlus Fastlane if you have little to no experience with SDR apps. More so of a curve than a scanner I'd say. You'll need enough dongles to cover the frequency spread(s) of the site(s) you monitor. Use this site to calculate how many you'll need

True but you can convert the pertinent contents of the DSDPlus.radios file into a csv file then extract the UIDs and aliases into Sentinel or Proscan to be written to the SDS. That's what I did for a county system I often monitor. Works great

I do this frequently. Sucks when I forget to remove the quotes.

That's not how that works. There is no NTIRN plain text alias.file to download.

If you have been using DSDPlus FastLane, and have the rid's of interest in your radios file, then they will populate if someone else already decoded them. And that's only is that system is using OTA aliases. Not all systems use the feature. No guarantee all agencies on a system would be using it either. I have seen systems where one agency uses the feature and others on the same system do not.

Unitrunker 2 can help you log and identify RIDs. As the radio transmissions scroll just click on the RID and edit it right there. I've got 1000s logged, but have never found an "easy" way to export them. I find it a rewarding experience to collect a few dozen RIDs on a particular system, on a cold Sunday afternoon.

What version on UT?

Opps, maybe I lied a little bit. I think I have tried that. It was awhile back, I had some trouble with a corrupt file or something. Maybe I'll try again.

 

[Stevendotson]

I will give Unitrunker a good try. Sounds like a good program to use. Thanks All.

What @dave3825 said is correct, there's no single file to download and get everything all at once. You have to have received it and populate a radio ID in the "radios" file, and if someone else already got the "alias" DSDPlus will send you the "alias" to go with the radio ID.

So in my "radios" file, I have Radio ID 7000901, with an over-the-air alias of "DA_DPD_CH1" (Dallas Central Dispatch Dispatcher), If you were monitoring NTIRN with DSDPlus, you would not get that alias shared with you until you actually received the Radio ID. Also, certain sites and certain talkgroups don't have the over-the-air support turned on, so you may not get any aliases - so for example Hurst PD units (the last time I drove through there in early March) are not showing aliases (I can't recall for certain, but the tower may not have been showing aliases either)
