Troubleshooting my OP25 blacklist...

[IQ_imbalance]

So the OP25 install on my RPi is running along nice and happy, and audio is successfully being streamed out w/icecast. The only real problem i'm currently having is that my blacklist is being ignored and so i'm receiving audio from talkgroups i'd rather be ignored (like the landfill...). The blacklist is a two column comma delimited text file with the talkgroup ID in the first column, and the talkgroup name in the second. if i display the file w/ the more command I see what I expect...the two columns as previously described, so I don't think there's any weird file type issues going on. It's also consistent w/ what i see when i display my talkgroup ID file.

Any thoughts?

My log file seems to indicate the blacklist file is being read:

What is the command line you are using to run OP25? In the blacklist file, are you using tabs instead of spaces? Spaces instead of tabs?

./rx.py --nocrypt --args "rtl=0" --gains 'lna:48' -S 2400000 -v 10 -2 -T trunk2.tsv -V -w -q -1 2>stderr.2

I believe the input files are all tab delimited (not comma delimited as previously stated)

Blacklist file is EITHER a single column of decimal numeric tgids, OR a two column tab separated pair of tgids defining the start and end of a range.

We're you using spaces?

No, the problem was I was using the same format as my talkgroup file....a column of numeric TGs and a column of text descriptors. File is still tab-delimited text.

Ah, ok. Glad you fixed it!

you know what they say about a little knowledge being dangerous!

And for the record, i'd like to just throw out a thanks to Boatbod and all the other developers for putting together this software.
