DSD FME

[ki4hyf]

I think you have to open the admin link to your rdio-scanner instance and setup a new dirwatch with a Type: Default and setup the mask information to match the naming conventions used for wav files.

You're no fun.

Can I get a little help here. Here's the name of one of the wav files that DSD-FME created. I need some help breaking it down into usable mask information.

20250814_112037_19839_EDACS_SITE_001_Digital_Group_Voice_Call__TGT_628_AFS_04_144_SRC_LID_UNK.wav

I'll take a poke at it. Keep in mind, I'm guessing at some of it, and that's probably the part that you need correct information, not guesses.

20250814 = Date String; 112037 = Time String; 19839 = Random Number (to prevent collisions); EDACS_SITE_001 = System String; Digital_Group_Voice_Call = GI String; TGT_628_AFS_04_144 = Target (Talkgroup); SRC_LID_UNK = Source String (UID).

I gathered this info from:
sprintf (new_filename, "%s/%s_%s_%05d_%s_%s_TGT_%d_SRC_%d.wav", dir, datestr, timestr, random_number, sys_str, gi_str, target_id, source_id);
I have no EDACS experience at all, so I could very well be wrong about some of it. BTW, I believe this is the code to change if desired.

I've been playing with this some and I have been able to get the date, time, frequency from the file name. Because Rdio-scanner requires a default talkgroup to be entered in separately, none of the Talkgroup or uid info is being populated in. For now, I have blocked, in the Group csv file, the talkgroups that I'm not interested in listening to. Is there another way to stream DSD-FME to my android phone that will be able to show the meta data?

After some time and tinkering iv got FME working in windsows (yay)

On a cap max system currently and the call history is only showing 4 lines worth of history. Is there a way to extend this to much more?
And still no radio id file to save the talker alias to or add my own radio id names?

Would it be possible to add the Baofeng GMSK mode to dsd-fme or is it too complicated?

Mode NFM
Modulation GMSK
ACF Frame: 400 ms
Bandwidth 12.5 kHz

The GMSK uses the time division multiple access (TDMA) technology to provides two paths in a 12.5 kHz
channel bandwidth, thus meeting the one voice path per 6.25 kHz of spectrum requirement. This radio also
provides date rate of 10248 bps in a 12.5 kHz channel, thus meeting the minimum data rate of 4800 bps in a
6.25 kHz channel. Additionally, the radio also meets the requirement of one voice channel per 12.5 kHz of
channel bandwidth for analogue speech.

According to FCC filings, it uses TDMA on a 12.5KHz channel, with GMSK at data rate of 10248 bps. However, the SDR waterfall suggests there is no such TDMA applied.

Honestly, I don't really see this one happening, unless somebody or some information comes to light that gives precise detail to how the frame is synchronized, the contents of the frame, including any and all encoding / fec methods and that the vocoder is known. Just saying it uses GMSK and is TDMA isn't' enough to work with (for me, atleast).

You should have 10 lines of call history per slot. You can add you "talker alias" to your groups file, using the RID for talkgroup, like:

10020,A,Fire Disp,Fire
102,A,Dispatcher,RID

Like in the attached picture.

Also, just in case you didn't know, you can add "-J event.log" to save call history (both slots) to a file.

You might be using an older version when it was still called "Call History" it capped out at 5 lines per slot. Newer "Event History" will log and allow scrolling of 255 history items per slot. Downside is, is if you are using it on Windows, you'll need to follow the compile instructions for Cygwin to build the newest, since I don't do the precompiled releases anymore.

It is on windows yes. I can live with the limited history as its mostly just for listening not so much "watching"

On a Capacity Max system it dont seem to be tracking it at all.
Talkgroups are working fine and now also the radio alias too but trunk tracking nothing. Locks onto the control channel but not following the voice.

dmr t3 chan csv file looks like this

ChannelNumber(dec),frequency(Hz) (do not delete this line or won't import properly),,
415,420387500,,

Am i using the correct channel #? SDR++ is setup and connected under rigctl server and sinks. I hear audio when a transmission comes over the control channel 2nd slot but nothing on the other 2 voice channels

RAS is possibly enabled on that system, you'll need to use the -F CLI switch, or tap capital F on the keyboard in the ncurses terminal to disable the CRC check for RAS, see if that'll do it for you. If its not tracking afterwards, you'll need to check the console output in the log and see what the LPCN channel numbers are on the call grants for T3 and CapMax, make sure they match what's in your channel map.

This is the command line im using

Try changing those channel numbers to their LCN values instead: 207, 213, 219

 

[Muxlow]

Console log is showing 106 as the CC for site 1 420.4875

DSD shows 213
And RR has it Ch ID 427

Tried putting 107 as the CC and 108 with the same freq. The voice channel seems to be 207/208 420.3875
Put 101/102 in for that frequency and see what happens

I have a similar issue. My filename format is slightly different but maybe leoaln's is linux? I have everything working except I cannot parse the time part of the filename as it has special characters as the time delimiter in windows (so everything is marked as a duplicate call in rdio). Is this something to do with the version of dsd-fme that I am on (latest pre-compiled windows version) or do I have to change something in my windows environment?

I have this problem on two separate Windows 10 machines.

No change. Tried all 3 combos of channel numbers. Locks onto the control just fine but does not show activity at all when a transmission is going on. Screen just stays solid green and showing the site info and what not

 

[DaveNF2G]

Are there any channel grants being logged?

Also, RAS is indicated in the log sample above.

BTW, I have this working with a script to automatically replace the offending character. If anyone else has the same file format as me, the mask format is

#DATE.#ZTIME.CC.#HZ.+TG.#TG.+RD.#UNIT

(I've stuck the Color Code into the HZ frequency field but if you don't want to use it for anything then you can just remove ".#HZ" from the middle of that mask.)

I run the batch file from the WAV directory and it looks like this

echo cleaning filenames...
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
:loop
for %%a in (**) do (
  echo cleaning file %%a
  set file=%%a
  ren "!file!" "!file:=-!"
)
timeout /t 1 /nobreak >nul
goto loop

If you can't copy that character across properly you get copy it from the filename on your machine. (Hopefully that might help someone else!)

However, I'd still prefer not to have that character in the middle of the filename so if anyone can tell me how to avoid that it would be great.

What version are you using? The filename was re-written a good while back. The special character is a : and at the time, I didn't know you couldn't use those in filenames in Windows (Linux didn't care) but its using the 20250814_112037_19839_EDACS_SITE_001_Digital_Group_Voice_Call__TGT_628_AFS_04_144_SRC_LID_UNK now.

As mentioned, you need to find the channel grants in there and look at the LPCN value for it. That is what needs a frequency populated in the .csv file.

Example:

10:20:19 Sync: +DMR  [slot1]  slot2  | Color Code=04 | CSBK
 Talkgroup Voice Channel Grant (TV_GRANT) - Logical
  LPCN: 0081; TS: 2; LPCN+TS: 0164; Target: 01949001 - Source: 00000050
