DSD+ Fast Lane setup questions

[KA2ZEY]

Can someone confirm whether or not I'll need 2 dongles to do trunking?

 

[vince48]

Question, if I'm using FMP both CC and VC .bat files do I need to also run CC and VC .bat files? the "trunking" tesx file says:

all batch files are designed to be run from your usual DSD+ folder;
either start four console windows in that folder, or if using desktop shortcuts
to run the batch files, specify that those shortcuts start in your usual DSD+ folder

I'm confused. When I edit my FMP CC file with a control channel frequency, I see no scrolling or control channel activity from DSD.

Yes vince48 you do need to run all four. The two FMP bat files merely tune the dongles, the CC and VC bat files do the decoding.

 

[vince48]

gotcha, thank you Sir. That is why I see not CC action.

Can someone confirm whether or not I'll need 2 dongles to do trunking?

From the trunking.txt that came with DSD+ 1.080:

The control signal source can be any NFM receiver whose flat audio is piped to
DSD+ via a mic or line in input, or an SDR device (DVB-T dongle, Airspy, etc.)
whose demodulated audio is piped to DSD+ via Virtual Audio Cable or VB-Cable.

So, no... you don't need two dongles. A scanner or similar tapped radio can be used to sit on the control channel.

can some kind sole send or post a sample of their FMPCC.bat and CC.bat file. I'm still not getting any control channel activity. i'm using the same port 20001 in both but no activity, the control frequency is good and strong. thanks in advance.

[vince48]

anyone know what the -rc switch is in the CC.bat file?

 

[W4KRR]

anyone know what the -rc switch is in the CC.bat file?

Per the trunking.txt file:

DSD+

new command line parameters:

-rc DSD+ role is rest/control channel monitor

-rv DSD+ role is voice channel monitor

 

[vince48]

thank you

Sorry guys, I figured it out. was running only FMP-CC.bat and CC.bat but not DSD.exe Sorry to be a PIA.

Yes vince48 you do need to run all four. The two FMP bat files merely tune the dongles, the CC and VC bat files do the decoding.

How did you manage to guess this information? FMP-CC.bat is not mentioned at all in the documentation.

To the DSD+ author(s) - Please please please add a list of startup steps in sequence to run this program correctly. You know, like

1 Execute CC.bat
2 Execute whatever comes next
3 etc.

From the Trunking.txt file:


Trunking
--------

all batch files are designed to be run from your usual DSD+ folder;
either start four console windows in that folder, or if using desktop shortcuts
to run the batch files, specify that those shortcuts start in your usual DSD+ folder


the CC source receiver can be a DVB-T dongle or a discriminator-tapped radio

if using a DVB-T dongle, run the FMP-CC batch file, tune to an active CC,
then adjust RF bandwidth filtering, RF gain, etc. as required

pressing '?' will list all active keys in FMP's console window


run the CC batch file to start the CC-decoding copy of DSD+

if you have your CC audio routed correctly, DSD+ should start decoding and scrolling


the VC source receiver *must* be a DVB-T dongle


run the FMP-VC batch file; FMP should automatically enter trunk-following mode

RF gain can be adjusted as required at any time

you should see FMP tuning to voice channels as comms show up on the CC


run the VC batch file to start the VC-decoding copy of DSD+

if you have your VC audio routed correctly, DSD+ should decode voice
traffic as comms show up on the CC


1, 2, 3, 4 ...

 

[DSDPlus]

Sorry guys, I figured it out. was running only FMP-CC.bat and CC.bat but not DSD.exe

CC.bat runs DSD+. That is its only job. Is DSD+ terminating? If it is, what does it say? What is in the log file?

 

[vince48]

Mr. DSDPlus
i run FMP-CC.bat, then CC.bat and nothing happens. I do not see and channel activity, event log and source audio windows open.

 

[DaveNF2G]

From the Trunking.txt file:


if using a DVB-T dongle, run the FMP-CC batch file, tune to an active CC,
then adjust RF bandwidth filtering, RF gain, etc. as required

OMG. I missed that line completely. Sheesh. (Embarrassed emoticon goes here.)

My text search didn't find it because it is not written as FMP-CC.BAT, but my eyeball search should have found it anyway.

 

[DSDPlus]

Mr. DSDPlus
i run FMP-CC.bat, then CC.bat and nothing happens. I do not see and channel activity, event log and source audio windows open.

Please post an exact copy of the CC.bat file that you are using.

 

[vince48]

Mr. DSDPlus
i have not amended the CC.bat file, but here it is

DSDPlus -rc -i20001 -v3 -wsl400.2 -wss100.200 -wel0.1 -wcl0.445 -wes400.520 >>CC.log

 

[DSDPlus]

Use Notepad to open the CC.log file. What is at the end of the file? Copy the text from the last run into your reply. Everything from the last occurrence of:

DSD+ 1.090pt
Program role is control/rest channel decoder

to the end of the file. Should not be more than about 20 lines.

DSD+ 1.080t
Program role is control/rest channel decoder

audio input device #3 (CABLE-B Output (VB-Audio Cable ) initialized

That is from the very *end* of CC.log?

It is from a DSD+ 1.080 run, not 1.090.
