Tones stopped going out on 154.01 on Jan 31st. Since you mention it...if anyone happens to have a programmatic method to identify stations in a dispatch without tones, I would love to get that functionality going again.

Yeah, I'm assuming the varying quality is just due to testing, patches, etc... I'm sure once they start to deploy that will clear up. But, they obviously are done with two-tone dispatches. I would love to find another way to identify stations for each dispatch based on available data...

As of now it's still being broadcast, but the tones no longer preceed the dispatch. I totally understand why they stopped using them (old, clunky, not needed, much better tech available), but I'm bummed. For my use case, it worked so well for so long I didn't even think about it. Does anyone...

AAFD broadcasts all of their dispatches on 154.01. Until sometime Wednesday (Jan 31) this included the tones for station identification. After Wednesday, the tones seem to have disappeared. Does anyone have any info on this change or know if the tones are being broadcast anywhere else? For...

Just an update. These settings are definitely working better than what I had originally. I suspect the issue is still there (I see some recordings come really close to cutting off), but these timings seem to run long enough to make up for any weirdness with the release times. A lot more of my...

Finally had a long page this morning that cut off. This one was 1:10 with some pauses in between some of the tones. It doesn't look like this one stacked tones/pages (I only got a notification for 1 station). Here's a link if you want to hear the recording. I'm making the rest of the changes...

Thanks for the reply here. It's been a few days since we've had one of those really long dispatches (probably a good thing since they're usually structure fires), so I haven't been able to test changes. In the mean time: Running version 74d right now. I've been keeping up with updates while...

Fair enough, however the configs in that post actually are from my real configs (with some redactions). The full contents of the current config/tones files are below. There are a few variations from what's in the post above, however these were all made trying to troubleshoot this issue. Both...

Sure thing. I actually did a writeup of the entire config in another post that includes the config files and all the details I could think of. It's in the link below. The only thing that has changed since then is adding a notch filter into the rtl-airband config to cut out the CTCSS tone...

Hmm, I guess that's possible. I have played with the squelch, but usually moving it down (thinking that maybe it's accidentally detecting silence). I will try to adjust it up. RTL-Airband does a good job of only sending audio when the frequency is actually active. Yeah, they are. These are...

Has anyone seen instances of TTD cutting off recordings at 55 seconds? I have TTD running on a Raspberry Pi and configured to record dispatches and send them via Telegram to a group. It also plays the dispatch live through a speaker on the Pi. Details on my setup are here. But on longer...

Sure. If you put the new card in the scanner (or put it into a SD card reader) and attach to the computer in mass storage mode, you can use the "Clear user data" option in Sentinel under the Scanner menu. This will reinitialize the SD card, then you can write your Sentinel data back to it...

I have a BCD436HP and SDS100 that I have not yet purchased the DRM upgrades for. There's a nearby site that uses DMR, but I'm not sure if I'm in range for my radios to hear them. If I setup a custom search but do NOT have the DMR keys enabled on my scanners, will I still be able to see...

Uniden's newer scanner models have a feature called Fire Tone Out that will silently monitor a conventional analog frequency for two tone fire dispatches, and play the dispatch over the speaker when it hears a matching tone set. Since I haven't been able to find a scanner with this feature for...

When I first got my SDS100, I was having a problem only with analog channels (conventional and trunked), details are linked in my post above. I have a Motorola Smartnet system near me that is mixed digital and analog...only the analog Talk Groups weren't coming in properly, digital was working...

I had a semi-similar problem with my SDS100 when I first got it. A new SD card fixed me up. Not sure if it's the same problem, but here are the details: SDS100 Silent Channels

Hi all. I'm trying to use TTD just as a pager (play the dispatch over speakers when a tone is heard). Is there a way to disable the wav recording or mp3 conversion?

Has anyone seen this error running on Raspberry Pi? I get this same error when running the TTD or LevelMeter executables. ./TwoToneDetect73l: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Running on Rasbian Buster and followed the...

I think it was 2.1.0.28. I've been focused on the bandwidth problem, so haven't had a chance to dig into what's wrong. It's possible that it's just a config issue with the VirtualHere client.

I've been playing with VirtualHere to do something similar. In my case, I'm trying to get an antenna in the attic without needing to run coax. VirtualHere turns the Raspberry Pi into a remote USB port. So the SDR looks like it's plugged directly into your client machine and you don't need to...
