DSD+ and SDR#

[braluca]

Hello all,
DSD+ 2.242
is it possible to use it with SDR# and normal RTLUSB stick?
I was using DSD+1.01 with virtual cable before so that launching with
DSDPlus -i2
Now I get
*** DSD+ single receiver mode requires TCP linking to FMPA/FMPP/FMP24 ***

Can anybody help?

DSD+ FL expects communication via tcp originating from the companion FMP24x

You are probably better off using an earlier version of DSD+ when using an unsupported feed like SDR# in any event no form of trunk following is possible using that combo which greatly limits wanting to do that - I do use it for some specialized cases but accept the limitations of no support.

 

[slicerwizard]

He just has to take DSD+ out of single receiver mode.

-rp on the command line is all it takes.

 

[TheButcher]

DSD+ FL 2.212 is last version for use with VAC... I use 2.212 with SDR#, VAC and it works great...

Why do you say that?

 

[braluca]

with -rv is working fine.
what are the differences between -rv, -rc and -rp?

run dsdplus.exe from commandline with the -h switch for help. It's very straightforward.

-rc dedicated rest/control channel decoder (in a setup where you are running two copies of fmp*/dsdplus)
-rv dedicated voice channel decoder (in a setup where you are running two copies of fmp*/dsdplus)
-rp role is passive digital decoder -- use this when feeding with discriminator tap or other SDR software (ex: SDRSharp)

dsdplus.txt, notes.txt, and all other .txt files provide a wealth of information, as to running fmp24 -h, fmpa -h, fmpp -h and dsdplus -h

Decoder options:
-r1 role is single-receiver control/rest/traffic channel decoder [-r1]
-rc role is dedicated control/rest channel decoder
-rv role is dedicated voice channel decoder
-rp role is passive digital decoder


Oops!!! Mike beat me!

"Why do you say that?"

Because it is. Newer versions beatch (***** is a female dog. Damn sensor shoot attacking / oppressing natural English language expression for folk with soft skin. But I digress.) about using TCP/IP link with signals such as P25. I am leaving my SDR# / DSD+ FL combination at 1.0.0.1732 / 2.212 . 2nd reason to mention this is to help Mr. braluca out.

FMP24 does not loan itself out to being useful at all snooping out new systems, discovering net id etc, etc, etc.

For me, SDR# works absolutely fine with P25...

Oh and once you know what is up / down, use FMP24 ====> DSD+ for best results / affect.

Do you mean on single voice frequencies or the trunks?

SDR# serves me very well for fastscanner plugin and TETRA plugin other than that though I prefer HDSDR for snooping signals - I guess we all have out fav tools and methods, but it is good to share successes.

No, it isn't true. Instead of just telling DSD+ to switch to passive monitoring mode and to use a virtual audio cable for input, you've given up and locked yourself out of anything past v2.212 - and then you advise others to do likewise! Sheesh.

 

[a417]

Do you need to run SDR# or do you want to run SDR#?

hint, the answer is the second one.

It *****es about needing FMP24 for TCP linking because it is tailor-made for it.

Simplex or control channels. one needs DSD+ for trunk decoding...





"No, it isn't true. Instead of just telling DSD+ to switch to passive monitoring mode and to use a virtual audio cable for input, you've given up and locked yourself out of anything past v2.212 - and then you advise others to do likewise! Sheesh."

No I use SDR# for discovering NEW sites / base station repeaters etc. Serves me right. I then use FMP24 + DSD+.



"and then you advise others to do likewise!"

Folk can do whatever they like. SDR# works for me. Call me old fashioned or whatever. I have separate folder for SDR# specifically for digital ===> DSD+. Same with DSD+ with VAC. As stated, 2.212 is latest that I use for SDR#. Works great. If it aint broke, why fix it?

I am not locking myself out of any features because I don't use them. I only use SDR# / DSD+ for snooping, not for monitoring. I can see 1MHz of spectrum and see whenever a transmission occures. I use latest FL version for monitoring, just like you do.




"Do you need to run SDR# or do you want to run SDR#?

hint, the answer is the second one. "

I can answer this question. Well, sounds like a loaded question if I have ever heard one. I can say both need and want. I know I want to. Nothing wrong with my customised version of SDR#. I don't need to do anything.

Bit like shooting a bunny with a .22 or .50 cal. Has same affect. ps. Your question is "gas lighting". Anyhow, back to work. Cheers guys.

 

[slicerwizard]

a) You didn't clearly explain all of what you're doing.

b) How do you know it ain't broke? The notes indicate that bugs get fixed all the time.

c) There's no need to run an older FL version. They all play equally nice with SDR#.

d) You suggested that another user could/should run an older version.

d1) There's no need.

d2) Who's to say that they've been an FL user long enough to have older versions?

e) Almost forgot - there's no need!

 

[a417]

Your question is "gas lighting". Anyhow, back to work. Cheers guys.

Must be some alternate definition of 'gaslighting' that I was unaware of. Determining want vs need is not psychological warfare.

Have a good day!

I hate to agree with TheButcher, but I use SDRSharp + DSDPlus a lot. If one is a sleuther trying to find new trunking systems, using the waterfall in SDRSharp is so much easier / more pleasant. If I want to trunk, I use FMP24/FMPA and DSDPlus. Otherwise it's always SDRSharp + DSDPlus with VB Cable. Of course, another reason I use SDRSharp is because I access numerous Airspys and dongles remotely via Spyserver for sleuthing, and you have to use SDRSharp to connect to spyserver.

Mike, we're only disagreeing with the claim that "DSD+ FL 2.212 is last version for use with VAC"...

Slice, Ok got it. Sorry for the intrusion

[slicerwizard]

Damn it dude! Social distancing! Back in your cave!

 

[TheButcher]

Later versions than 2.212 beatch about the need for FMP24 for, in my instance P25 P1. Trust me, I had to roll back.


Anyway, I am secure. I am not a reprobate.

I may of not explained myself the first time, but I did reiterate. (God, that even rhymes. Might kick off my rap courier G!)

We may all have to go back to living in caves, due to the flu and folk that don't wash their hands.

Anyhow, I will stay by my own empirical evidence / findings. Thanks DSD+ team.


"I hate to agree with TheButcher "

Hate is a strong word. Use your brain and not your emotions next time.



ps. I prefer to hunt for digital traffic instead of store bought. SDR# facilitates this. Oh and FYI, I have separate directory for all my networks. SDR# and DSD+ 2.212 have their own separate directory. For every other network, I use latest FL.

Where I am, there is not much entered as far as frequencies are concerned in radioreference. I prefer not to upload such information either, as it is a small world.

Happy hunting! Thanks guys.
