DSDPlus frequencies file

[DaveNF2G]

I am scanning a 3-repeater Capacity Plus system on UHF. I have set the following information into the dsdplus.frequencies file, but the TX frequency never displays in the Channel Activity window where there is a column for it.

Cap+, 123, 0, 2, 463.31250, 468.31250, 0
Cap+, 123, 0, 3, 463.43750, 468.43750, 0
Cap+, 123, 0, 1, 463.82500, 468.82500, 0

There is no actual network ID. I set zeroes as per the comments in the file. The channel numbering I used is based on which repeaters have which "channel" numbers on them.

In other words, on 463.825 slot 1 is channel 1 and slot 2 is channel 2. On 463.3125 slot 1 is channel 3 and slot 2 is channel 4. On 463.4375 slot 1 is channel 5 and slot 2 is channel 6. This is all per what shows in the Channel Activity window.

How should the above entries be modified in order to get the TX frequency to appear?

If there is no network ID, I don't think DSD+ can retrieve any information from the frequencies file.

In that case, I guess we just have to wait for that feature to be fully implemented. In the meantime, a note among the comments in that file stating that the feature is only useful in particular modes (despite the others being listed by example) would be a good idea.

One other thing I noticed - when DSDPlus is running, all of the data files are locked except for the frequencies file. Maybe it isn't used at all?

Just curious... why do you want the TX frequencies to display?

 

[DaveNF2G]

It makes it easier to figure out what's going on without having to keep looking at the SDRSharp display, which is usually hidden behind the various DSDPlus windows anyway.

BTW, this works:

Cap+, 000, 0, 1, 463.82500, 468.82500, 0
Cap+, 000, 0, 2, 463.82500, 468.82500, 0
Cap+, 000, 0, 3, 463.31250, 468.31250, 0
Cap+, 000, 0, 4, 463.31250, 468.31250, 0
Cap+, 000, 0, 5, 463.43750, 468.43750, 0
Cap+, 000, 0, 6, 463.43750, 468.43750, 0

It occurred to me to replace the default "123" Net ID with zeroes when there is no actual Net ID in use. Also, the "channels" are the system channels, not the repeater pairs, so each frequency has two channel numbers (one per slot), so I put in six channels instead of three and Voila!

I will probably edit the file again to remove the trailing zeroes in the frequency fields. It should still function correctly.

DSDPlus Frequencies

Attempting to set up the DSDplus,Frequencies. Can anybody assist with the correct information ?.
The network and frequencies come from the Australian/Melbourne/MMR network with the control station at Dandenong.
