Australia (AU) License Data for DSDPlus FMP24

[thewraith2008]

This is the initial release of the DSDPlus/FMP24 AU License Data (FMP-FreqList.csv)

It has only been tested with DSDPlus (FastLane) v2.98.
If earlier versions use the same .csv file format, they should work.

To use this file, after downloading unpack the ".7z" with 7-Zip.

Backup your existing "FMP-FreqList.csv" to another location. If you currently use it.

The only file needed from zip is "FMP-FreqList.csv"
I recommend copying the "FMP-FreqList.csv.log" as well for versioning purposes. It also has some processing stats in it.

Using FMP-FreqList.csv:

With DSDPlus/FMP24 stopped.​

Copy FMP-FreqList.csv to your DSDplus working folder​

FMP24.cfg:

- Update "search origin" line to your location. This is a must to show frequency info in YOUR area.​

- Set "search distance" to about 50 KMs (Or whatever you RX area is. Larger will show more but it can be to much)​

Restart DSDPlus/FMP24
Enjoy.

Limits of this type of file is that one frequency may have multiple entries in your area. DSDPlus I think shows the closest, which may not be the right one. Current solution would be comment out (use ';') unwanted entries.

Another nice feature in a up and coming version of DSDPlus FL (v2.1xx) is the displaying of heading. Useful for those of us that use a rotatable antenna. Shown in image as "179 deg".

Let me know what you think.

See 1st post for details and usage.

Is anyone using this data. How are you finding it. Is it helpful in identifying unknown signals?
