DSD+ Log P25 Trunking frequencies

[tikev]

Hi,

Maybe I am missing something, but is there a way to log all frequencies broadcasted by the CC of a P25 Trunking system somewhere (DSDPlus.frequencies or .event).

Voice channels do appear in the event log, but I would like to get an history of CC and SCC frequencies when I am monitoring new sites. That would be really useful for new sites identification.


Thanks,

Tikev

Per the notes.txt

"DSDPlus.groups and DSDPlus.radios records are auto-populated;
edit these files to add group and radio aliases

no P25 frequency data is required in the DSDPlus.frequencies file,
but you may manually add frequency data for your own reference
(DSD+ will ignore any P25 frequency entries that you add)

Pressing N (reset neighbor list) while monitoring a P25 control channel
will trigger a display of the current system's bandplan table."

Your frequencies can be found in the dsdplus.event file associated with the DSDPlus your running.
(probably this one.. cc-dsdplus.event)

EXAMPLE:

Current network: 92763.D66
Current site: 92763.D66-1.4
92763.D66-1.4 neighbor: Site 92763.D66-1.2; CC=1-123 477.550000
92763.D66-1.4 neighbor: Site 92763.D66-1.6; CC=2-0 453.837500
92763.D66-1.4 neighbor: Site 92763.D66-1.1; CC=1-96 477.212500
Group call; TG=3001 Src=EXTERNAL Ch=477.3625 Pri2 2s
Group call; TG=3003 Src=EXTERNAL Ch=477.8125 Pri3 2s
Group call; TG=3001 Src=EXTERNAL Ch=477.6625 Pri3 2s
Group call; TG=3003 Src=EXTERNAL Ch=477.925 Pri2 4s

I hope this is what you meant

Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately, while I can find the VC channels in the event log (like I mentionned in my original post), the CC and SCC channels that are decoded by DSD+ are not present in the event log, even if they are on the "Activity" window when I am
monitoring the site. I am looking for a way to get those CC and SCC frequencies, as I already have the VC frequencies the way you mentioned.

Thanks again for your help!

I was assuming you were using DSDPlus as an -rc instance and an -rv instance for following the site.
If running normally it may not show P25 CC's.
It may only display them when running a DSDPlus -rc instance with FMP24 as -rc as well.

I'm new to the fastlane, So I'm sure others may have better wisdom...

I love it though!

My setup when I'm mobile is the simplest: Scanner (Disc. tap) -> Computer -> DSD+
No SDR or FMP involved (in this case).

As I said, I do see the information on CC or SCC on the channel activity window.
I want to know if I can have it somewhere in my logs instead of making a print screen every time I want to save the data


Thanks,

I believe it is in the log. You just have to find the right one. If you see something in the event window; Then it was saved to a log/event file; unless logging was disabled, or the log was overwritten when DSDPlus was restarted after that specific session, That would occur if logs are not appended to using the >>. Check every log and event file it's there unless it was erased or logging was never started.

You can pull it out of the console log.

RFSS_STS_BCST SysID=3C2 LRA=0 RFSS=1 Site=5 CC=769.93125 SC=70

SCCB RFSS=1 Site=5 [ch=770.18125 SSC=04] [ch=770.68125 SSC=04]

SCCB RFSS=1 Site=5 [ch=770.68125 SSC=04] [ch=771.00625 SSC=04]

You could also look at Unitrunker, it has a special window which displays every site frequency and the number of hits associated with each frequency.

You won't get a log if your starting DSD+ by clicking the "exe." file directly.
You need to start DSD+ using a batch file.

Create a new text file in the same folder/directory DSD+ is in.
Open the new file with notepad.
Copy the line below here (everything but without the quotes).
Paste it into the new text file and then Save before closing notepad.
Then rename the file whatever you'd like it to be called (example SDSharp_V4)
Then add ".bat" to the file name, by replacing the ".txt" or just add it on after ".txt"
(example change "SDSharp_V4.txt" to "SDSharp_V4.bat" or "SDSharp_V4.txt.bat")
Then click on and run the bat file.
DSD+ will open and create a log named "SDSharp_V4.log" in the same folder/directory (if it works right)

"DSDPlus -v4 -E -t >>SDSharp_V4.log"

There are other ways to accomplish this result, but it's the simplest way I can explain it in plain english. Sorry if you are already aware of this, not my intent to insult anyone's intellect..

Have you considered ProScan? I use it to grab new talkgroups and frequencies as they come up

Thanks Slicer. I will do this that way.

You could also look at Unitrunker, it has a special window which displays every site frequency and the number of hits associated with each frequency.

I was using Unitrunker before, but the logging isn't working very well for my personal use, and the software sometimes can't decode the information correctly. Since DSD+ decodes DMR and NXDN too, it's a better tool for me.

I do use a batch file. I was only trying to avoid using the "command line dump" way because the log file created would contain a lot of useless data.

Have you considered ProScan? I use it to grab new talkgroups and frequencies as they come up

Does it log Alternate control channels or only voice channels?

Thanks everybody for your help,
Tikev

I have my scanner on the main cc and ProScan logs all the voice/data frequencies. Not sure what will happen if the alt cc becomes active, I assume logging will stop as the input is locked on the cc
