Hello RR
Not a show stopper of a bug but a bug none the less. Stick with me while I try to explain.
Just recently became a Fast Lane user so I'm playing with the latest DSD+ v2.18 and the newer features it affords. Most notably CAP+ monitoring and its ability to distinguish different networks. CAP+ doesn't provide Network ID. So by entering in the correct information data into .networks, .sites and .frequencies. files as per 'Notes.txt' this can be achieved.
I have only identified 4 CAP+ networks in my area so far to explore.
2 networks use a single a frequency each ('Site 8' from below is one of these)
1 network use 2 frequencies
1 network use 3 frequencies
3 of the networks resolve as 'Site 1' and the other as 'Site 8'
All 'Site 1' networks resolve correctly in 'DSD+ CC Event Log' window.
The 'Site 8' network does not resolve the .sites information correctly in the 'DSD+ CC Event Log' window.
My DSDPlus files entries for 'Site 8' are:
.networks
Cap+,8888, "CAP+ System - Company"
.sites
Cap+,8888,8,"Location"
.frequencies
Cap+,8888,8,1,500.6750,0,0
I'm running DSD+ with the 4 reconfigured batch files.
When decoding commences the 'DSD+ CC Event Log' window displays:
"Current network: 8888 Cap+ System - Company"
"Current site: 8888-8 Location"
And in the status bar of the 'DSD+ CC Event Log' window:
"Cap+ Site:8888-8 DCC:1 Cap+ System - Company"
Status bar line should be:
"Cap+ Site:8888-8 DCC:1 Cap+ System - Company Location"
This is how the 'Site 1' networks are shown.
If I change .sites file to: (changed 'siteNumber' from 8 to a 1)
Cap+,8888,1,"Location"
Then "Location" is not shown and is "Current site:8888-8"
And the statusbar shows "Cap+ Site:8888-8 DCC:1 Cap+ System - Company Location"
So the 2 lines only swap around.
The workaround is to add 2 entries for the 1 network into .sites file.
Cap+,8888,1,"Location"
Cap+,8888,8,"Location"
This would be an issue if you have a 'Site 1 and Site 8 in a network.
If you got this far, thanks for sticking around.
Has anyone noticed this bug?
