DSD+ is the latest version. Could you please help me understand the setup algorithm?

Hello everyone. I am a newcomer to this field, but it is important for me to figure it out. Can you guys help me configure this program to extract various information from digital channels, such as Motorola radio stations? Please tell me what I need for this and what is the sequence of actions in setting up the program? I am stuck on this error, how can I overcome it without deleting this value from the configuration?

Eliminate -dr from your bat file. Then try starting.

The -dr and -dh were removed a long time ago. Its in the notes.txt in your DSDPlus directory.


DSD+ 2.29

The -dr and -dh command line options have been removed

And ditch SDR# while you are at it. Start out with FMP24, get things working, then if you want to go back to SDR# you can. FMP is made to directly integrate with DSD+, so they work seamlessly together. No need for virtual audio cables and tons of tinkering with settings.

Thank you for getting back to me, could you please tell me where exactly I need to look for this command line?

You should download the latest version of DSD Interface that has been upgraded by thewraith2008.


Does it work with FastLane 2.395?

@RomanGo if you hit configure on the plug in your using, and remove -dr and -dh, what happens?

Or if you set the audio output of sdr# to your virtual cable, then start DSDPlus listening on the virtual cable, what happens?

I mainly use FMP24 with DSDPLus. Sometimes I use the older dsd plug in but I don't use the start dsd feature (or even configure) in that. Just set a virtual cable, enable aux output and then open DSDPlus and match the cable.

That works, too. I find it nice to be able to have a button in the UI that let's me start and stop DSDPlus without going through the extra steps to pull up and run the batch script.

FMPx is also useful, but it only excels over SDR# when there's one system you want to listen to at a time. No way to search through a freq range to find new signals.

Everything is fine with the virtual cable. 2023-04-13 18_39_48-AIRSPY SDR# Studio v1.0.0.1784 - HackRF.pngAfter removing -dr and -dh, the following error occurs. I see that there is no synthesized speech saved and there are no three channels. If it's necessary, do you know how to do it? Also, I would like to ask if there is any guide on the forum about complete setup from scratch?

How are you loading DSDPlus? If you use the plugin, its opening DSDPlus in Passive Digital Monitor mode. All you need to do is either click DSDPlus, then Control, then select Combined cc / vc monitor, then go to input and set your virtual cable. Or 1R.bat, and then the same steps. That's how I do it when using with sdr#

Here's screenshots of my settings for the DSD Interface plugin. Also make sure squelch in SDR# is either very, very low or turned off.

Unfortunately, something is not working for me, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... Could you please help me with this issue and beyond?

Can you get a screengrab of your audio devices for input/output? Also adjust your volume on the DSD Interface plugin in SDR# until the dB values for output level turn green.

It seems like I'm on the right track now, something is happening, but there is no voice heard, although sometimes the words flash by. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm surprised to see a DMR signal in the airband at 136MHz. Are you tuned to the right frequency, might explain the high number of decode errors?

Not sure where the OP is located or who the entity is on 163.025 but there are many Dmr radios that go from 136.025 up to 173.975 on Amazon.
