I'm looking at the Event Log while conventionally tuned to 452.975 with just 1 dongle:
So does this mean this frequency would be what RadioReference refers to as "LSN 5" and "LSN 6"? And the LCN would be 3? I believe LCN stands for Logical Channel Number, but I don't know what "LSN" means. I just wanna make sure I understand how to translate DSD+ into RadioReference vernacular before submitting any corrections.
Yes, that is what it means. What an RR admin needs to know is ONLY the LCN -- don't even mention the LSNs / Ch#s. When an admin plugs the LCN into the backend, the backend automatically breaks it out into LSNs.
Ch1 / Ch2 = LSN 1 / LSN 2 = LCN 1
Ch3 / Ch4 = LSN 3 / LSN 4 = LCN 2
Ch5 / Ch6 = LSN 5 / LSN 6 = LCN 3
etc
etc
As far as submitting anything to the DB, just submit LCNs and color codes, confirmed ones of course.
So you have:
451.975 LCN 2 (Ch3 / Ch4 aka LSN 3 / LSN 4), Color Code ? (I don't know if it's also color code 5 or not)
452.975, LCN 3, (Ch5 / Ch6 aka LSN 5 / LSN 6), Color Code 5
Submit those freq/LCN/color codes to the DB when you have time, please. Rinse/repeat for every system you find info for.
And, just as a sidenote. It is always wise, when you switch frequencies, to his "d" in DSDPlus so that it disregards all actively stored information about the previously monitored frequency. Otherwise you could be monitoring one frequency and it shows Cap+ DCC:5, tune to another frequency and have a short burst and then think it is also Cap+ DCC:5 when in fact it's something totally different that you just haven't pulled in yet. If you use "d" after switching frequencies, you significantly reduce the chance of logging erroneous data with your eyes.
