Con+ setup help

[bravo14]

I have been trying to get a Con+ system for a power company in my area. I have Have the DSD+ 1.51. I have the Freqs and I got the NID Site NL show up on the DSD+. I don't hear voices all I hear is the Control Channel and I have scan without the control channel and still not able to pick up the other freqs. I don't know the LCN correct orders are.

I have try to put in the freqs in Manually in Notepad in the DSDplus Frequencies file and I'm trying to under stand how set it up correct I see this in notepad. ↓

; DSD+ frequency file
;
; line format:
;
; protocol, network ID, site number, OTA channel number, TX frequency, RX frequency, sort order
;
;
; use site number = 0 for network-wide definition
;
; use 0.0 for unknown frequencies
;
; use sort order = 0 to sort by OTA channel number

; D-Star
; IDAS
; NEXEDGE48

I have no luck still on this system. I've tried all different ways Here's what I have

Con+, 164, 11, 1, 451.0750, 456.0750 0
Con+, 164, 11, 2, 451.0750, 456.0750 0
Con+, 164, 11, 3, 451.1000, 456.1000 0
Con+, 164, 11, 4, 451.1000, 456.1000 0
Con+, 164, 11, 5, 451.2000, 456.2000 0
Con+, 164, 11, 6, 451.2000, 456.2000 0
Con+, 164, 11, 7, 451.2950, 456.2950 0
Con+, 164, 11, 8, 451.2950, 456.2950 0
Con+, 164, 11, 9, 452.6250, 457.6250 0
Con+, 164, 11, 10, 452.6250, 457.6250 0

164 is the Network ID 11 is the site. Do I have the correct way of setting this up? I still don't hear any voice I'm sitting on the Control Channel which is 452.625

Within 30 minutes I only see Ch 47 show up on the Activity Box. Is Ch 47 is the LCN?

It would appear so. I've never seen anything that high, though. I usually see 1-x where x is typically 6-10.

Woke up this morning ran the program when I went to bed I see this now. I guess Voice Call is their TalkGroups?

Technically, the TG= is their talkgroup. RID is the Radio ID (AKA Unit ID or Unit number)

Interesting that the LCNs went to 1/2, but that makes more sense.

Sometime today the Ch 1/2 went back to Ch 47 possible I'm too far from the repeater? I get 2 bars during the day and sometimes 3 depends on weather. During the late night hours to early morning I get 2-3 bars sometimes 4 depends on weather.

More likely you have more then one system in range. I have that in my area. DSD+ does not 'log' the different settings.

Could be. I do see 2 NL on the list but one system is over one county west of me the other is unknown area according to the RRDB. I'm trying to listen to this system

You say you are sitting on the control channel... You are scanning the other channels too, correct? Otherwise all you will hear for voice activity is whatever is on time slot 2 of that control channel. You should however see lots of activity in the event viewer as transmissions are taking place on the other channels. If you aren't seeing activity it could indeed be a reception issue.
