DSD Plus

[slicerwizard]

Yes I did, and when they were talking on the Voice Channel Freq, the OPP, I never saw anything change in those screens like what it should show when it works.

And you heard the raw audio from your scanner's speaker?

 

[SCPD]

Yah I heard the Digital Noise from my scanner, since the tapped scanner I use is an old analogue only scanner. So all I hear is the Digital Noise.

 

[SCPD]

Here is 3 pics of the sound wave image from my computer when the program is up and running.

1st Pic: Is what it looks like when the program is up and running with my scanner plugged into my mic jack.

2nd Pic: Is what it looks like when I put my scanner on the Control Channel of our Trunking System.

3rd Pic: Is what it looks like when the OPP was talking on that Voice Channel I am sitting on, on my scanner. (Digital Transmission)

Let me know if these pics help any to tell why it still is not working for me or if by the looks of it everything looks good.

Thanks

I've never seen a waveform slope like that before... it should be basically horizontal with the waveform centered around the middle of the window. It's almost like there is a bias or something on your input signal.

 

[SCPD]

Oh ok, I dunno. That is the way it is and the Mic volume is turned up a little bit. So does that have something to do with it, if so I dunno how to fix it and not going to add anything to my computer to fix that just for this one program when TRUNK88 works great on it.

So is the way it looks have something to do with why it's not working or does it look good otherwise.

Just want to try and get this program running lol.

when its keyed up receiving signal it should be more square also not vertical like it i. ex like this this was just taken off my dmr setup http://i62.tinypic.com/oh7l3c.png

 

[SCPD]

Ok, I dunno why mine is like that. What I showed in the pics is what it looks like, so I dunno what to say.

So I dunno why TRUNK88 works normal on that computer and this program doesn't.

So by the way the wave pic shows, that might have something to do with this program not working or doing what it should.

I am not going to do anything, like add anything to my computer to fix it just for this program.

Just curious to see if there is an issue by looking at those pics, what do you suggest I do to get it to look like everyone elses wave pics.

Let me know.

Thanks

Coolguy... Do you have a 'Line-In' instead of a 'Mic' input on your computer? I have done the same thing using an old analog scanner and by putting in the voice channels to my local P25 site, I can get DSD+ to decode the audio but only if it goes into the Line-In on the computer. The Mic jack would not work, not sure why but I could not get it to work. Also I had to put a discriminator tap in the scanner and not use headphone jack in the scanner, that won't work at all on any configuration.

 

[SCPD]

I dunno all I see on it on the side is a MIC Jack and Headphone Jack. If this helps the comp I have is a DELL Latitude D610. I have 2 of them, and this one I am trying to use for this program, I tried TRUNK88 on it by plugging the cable from my tapped scanner into the MIC Jack and TRUNK88 worked like it should, it came up and starting decoding and playing and showing the stuff.

So I dunno if it has a line in jack from what I just posted above.

Oh ok, I dunno. That is the way it is and the Mic volume is turned up a little bit. So does that have something to do with it, if so I dunno how to fix it and not going to add anything to my computer to fix that just for this one program when TRUNK88 works great on it.

Those screen shots are all identical and they show no signal whatsoever. I don't think your sound hardware supports 96 kHz sampling. Does TRUNK88 work if you set Audio Input Sampling Rate to 96000? If not, DSD+ won't work (unless a 48 kHz sampling option is added)

 

[SCPD]

Ok well they are all different pics, just like what I mentioned in for each pic, is what it was doing when I took the 3 pics.

I have no idea if it does or not support 96 kHz sampling.

I dunno, never tried it and don't know how to change it to that. I never touched or played around with any of those type of audio settings before. For TRUNK88, I just plugged the scanner into the computer, brought up the program and nothing else. Then just watch the screen.

How do you change that type of audio setting, and maybe will give it a try when I get time probably tomorrow or when ever and see if that works.

Let me know

Thanks

Just edit TRUNK88.CTL with Notepad, then run TRUNK88...

 

[SCPD]

Ok. And how do I edit it with note pad. Never did that before. And what do I edit in there and change. Just want to know what exactly to edit or change before I try it.

Thanks.

 

[Forts]

Go into your Trunk88 folder and find trunk88.CTL. Before doing anything else, make a copy of this before editing it. Once you've done that open the file in a text editor (notepad etc) and right near the top there should be an entry:

Audio Input Sampling Rate = xxxx

You want to set that value to 96000. Make the change, save the file and start T88. If all goes well T88 should fire up as usual and you won't see anything different. If your audio hardware doesn't support that rate I suspect it'll throw an error of some sort.

 

[SCPD]

Ok just did that changed it to 96000, saved it and opened up TRUNK88 and it came up and worked just like it should, so I dunno. It supports 96000.

So I dunno why TRUNK88 works and this program doesn't want to work on here.

I am running out of options here lol.

All I can see is trying this program on a repeater TRBO Channel the next time I go to one of those places and if it works there then I am all good to go, but if it doesn't then I really don't know.

If anyone else has anything else feel free to post.

Thanks.

I saw this same "downhill" waveform when I was using my tapped Pro-96 scanner WHEN THE POWER ADAPTER WAS PLUGGED IN. If I unplugged the power adapter and relied only on battery power, it went back straight across again and I got proper decodes.

 

[slicerwizard]

Ok just did that changed it to 96000, saved it and opened up TRUNK88 and it came up and worked just like it should, so I dunno. It supports 96000.

Audio Input Bits Per Sample should also be set to 16.

And Audio Input Channel should be set to 0 (for mono processing).

Those should emulate DSD+.

All I can see is trying this program on a repeater TRBO Channel the next time I go to one of those places and if it works there then I am all good to go, but if it doesn't then I really don't know.

If it doesn't work for Fleetnet voice, it won't work for anything.

I assume you're using a laptop? What's the make/model?

 

[SCPD]

Ok. The only tapped scanner I am using is a Mobile one, so I cannot unplug it and and use battery power. So guess the wave length I showed you in my pics is the way it's going to be. I don't have a portable scanner that is tapped to try and not going to tapp one for this lol.

So otherwise I guess everything looks good from the pics I have been posting.

Yah when I tried it sitting on a Fleetnet Voice Channel, nothing showed up in the other screens. So does this mean even if I tried this program with a TRBO Repeater Channel, there is a chance it still might not work for some reason.

The laptop I am using is a DELL Latitude D610. And it's windows XP on it.

Let me know

 

[Forts]

More than a chance I'm afraid, I can pretty much guarantee it won't work... As the signal (for what ever reason) isn't getting into DSD+.

 

[SCPD]

Ok. So that is weird that TRUNK88 works on that comp with no issues and shows everything that it should, but for some reason the computer doesn't like the DSD Plus program. Doesn't decode and show what it is supposed to.

Well then I guess just for one last shot, will try it on another TRBO Channel or TRBO Repeater Channel(s) the next time I go to one of those places for fun and see if it decodes and shows what it should, if not, then I am out of luck and trying to use this program to figure out these TRBO Channels that are being used. And being able to eventually start listening to them on my TRBO radio. After and if I got the Colour Code and Time Slots they are using.

Thanks again.
