DSDPlus DSD+ 2.509 Fastlane Released, Small Update

[RaleighGuy]

Interesting. I've tried 1E0, 19E, and 1FC which you monitor.

1E0 has 55 pending decodes, none decoded yet
19E has 2 pending over 1000 decoded
1FC has 28 pending over 1500 decoded

So, all are working, look through your radio files and see if at the end there is a long string followed by the alias in quotes. Perhaps they decoded and the unit hasn't transmitted again. You do have internet connection correct?

the only other thing i would try is deleting the radio file, You are not the only one having this

Why would you delete the file that it is supposed to write to?

it will regenrate a new one and should pull existing Aliases from the server in case something was messed uo in his existing file

That would cause him to lose all data from all systems including the alias keys saved to it preventing aliases from being written to it, if @FJB2022 wanted to try a clean RADIOS file he should save the current file as something else before deleting it, so he can copy other data back into the new one. But I do not see how this would help.

It does not regenerate another one. Gives 2 errors and shuts down DSDPlus

ok i stand corrected the radio file has to be physically there, so try a clean one, theres is one in the basefiles.zip

might not be a solution but at least we are attempting to fix it

the only other thing i could think of is the firewall and or antivirus/defender is blocking it from the network

If you remove the alias key in the radio file then it will not download and write from a previously decoded alias to the file, it must have the key in order to know where to write it, this didn't work for me, I've tried it.

it will after it runs for a while and reaquires the alias key, then it will download from the server, ive done that

edit: tested and that method worked, it will re acquire OTA Aliases as the RID appears on the system, you do have to stop dsd first, place the blank file in then restart

also i replaced my existing radios file back in after the test and it loaded like normal even showing the pending decodes

 

[dave3825]

Yes, the intent is to fix, but temporarily moving a file would have been a better piece of advise over deleting the file.

Where are you seeing the systems I'm monitoring with those numbers? I'm using my radio, it's still not populating, maybe it takes time. Yes, I'm connected to the internet.

Yes it takes time, it does not populate immediately. Also if you are using your radio it may be too close to the SDR causing issues but I'm not sure.

You can see the alias states by going into the MISC tab P25 Motorola Aliases link, scroll to the bottom and click on download alias server stats (bottom choice). It saves in the DSD+ folder and is a text file, open the text file and find your systems.

 

[dave3825]

You can generate the alias stats file from the misc tab.

Do you have a firewall maybe blocking incoming connections

 

[WX4JCW]

we got there eventually

 

[FJB2022]

That may be the issue. I was using a mobile hotspot, I will be home and able to do more test shortly.

 

[dave3825]

That hotspot just might be the issue. Especially if DSDPlus is using a certain port for returns.

Mobile Hotspots are notrious for that kind of stuff

You can also just go directly here to see the stats - https://www.dsdplus.com/dsdplusuploads/FastLane/AliasStats.txt.

Do you see anything in your 1R-Log.txt file? You should see lines similar to this which might help you narrow down the issue.

[FJB2022]

Awesome! I'm able to see the stats, it looks like the aliases are pending. Now that I'm no longer using a hot spot, hopefully they eventually update.

 

[WX4JCW]

my experience is usually either right away up to 24 hours, ive got 2888 so far here and 78 pending
