DSD+ and Tier 3 systems

[pro92b]

seagravebuff60 - One final bit of info on 2.448 the first version. The East Mountain site ID format L13-x.x is displayed with Airspy and discriminator tap inputs. However when I used a RTL-SDR V3 I got the message about blocking the switch to L13 and the sites ID as L12-x. So DSD+ erroneously handles the inputs differently depending on what the signal source is. All the testing with new virgin installations had no bearing on the issue.

scottjpalmer - I'd love for there to be a communications link from the author so we know what's going on. It can be indirect but needs to be semi-official so we know it isn't just someone's possibly uninformed opinion.

I realize this whole thing with DSD+ is in flux/turmoil, however one thing @seagravebuff60 and I discovered earlier is that the results vary depending on whether you have DSD+ set to CC Monitor (1 of 2) vs Combined CC/VC Monitor. The "Blocking network ID change" messages seems to show up only when in Combined CC/VC Monitor mode for whatever reason, so try switching to CC Monitor (1 of 2) instead, see if that makes a difference.

I hear where you're coming from, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it that the author said to me in an email that they know 2.448 is broken and that they're working on fixing it.

I think that the 2 versions of 2.448 and the conflicting System ID and Sites are just adding to the confusion (for me to handle at least). I'm just going to wait to see if it's fixed in a future update. It's not worth my time anymore.

The complete lack of support and or communication from the DSD+ author is ridiculous. If you "Sell" a product/software at least support it.

Some of us get answers from the author right away, even for silly questions. I suspect others are using the old email address.

Then what is the correct email adress?

There has only ever been one email address to contact the DSDPlus author -- dsdplusfastlane@gmail.com

Bet you some were emailing the address that the FastLane updates were coming from back in 2019.

Interesting. I vaguely remember that address now. I can't say that I ever sent an email to that address though. I stand corrected.

I stand corrected.

No need for correction, I believe your right as far as the other addy being the contact address.

Exactly!

 

[scottjpalmer]

Here we go, some find and replace data file editing required but then hopefully this issue is resolved. Woohoo!

A1 Communications and East Mountain Communications

Hi all, I can pick up a mystery DMR Tier 3 system in Scarsdale and have been somewhat puzzled as to who the actual user is. If anyone is in the lower/mid Hudson valley, please search up and down the 450-470 range and see what DMR Tier 3 you can pick up. I suspect the "Grabala, Carl J" is the...
