DSD+ Status

[joeuser]

Just to update, I did a system reboot Friday or Saturday. My DSDplus is still up & running - I have not lost text in the event log like I had in a couple days of use, after the initial install. So that may have been a glitch.

I am getting rapidly scrolling decode data in the console window from DSDPlus v1.51, but the Event Log window never shows anything after initial startup, except for DC or CC information on the bottom part of the window itself.

I get error indications on practically every decode line, regardless of input levels or any other settings. Most are "CACH ERR" messages.

LRRP is not seeing anything, either. The systems I am testing on seem to have no voice traffic at all.

I asked before if it was supposed to be decoding CC info but never got an answer as its not doing it for me. As you said just displays running info in window but nothing at all else on what information its getting from the control channel.

Don't know if its supposed to not do anything or if I have an issue.

I'm monitoring a P25p1 system, only game in town. Main window shows the decode & the event window shows the timestamp, call type, TGID, RID, & shows the duration of the Tx. HTH!

I have an all data frequency local to me that acts as above.

Do either of you have a different frequency to try?

Why aren't you choosing the appropriate input source? Have you tried anything to troubleshoot it like adjust levels, decode a nice, strong signal, etc?

I pick it up just fine i'm less them 10 miles from the repeater i get the freq fine i here the sound like a modem
but for some reason this is the error i got...So i re installed it and still same thing so i dunno...

Dave,

I usually see "cach err" if I am off freq or trying to decode a poor quality signal. Nonetheless, I would imagine that you would see something in the event log. Do you have other systems to try? Also, are you using an SDR or discriminator tap?

At least a half-dozen. Same results on all. I do get decoding comparable to DSD 1.61 on the local DMR voice repeater.

I'm using an SDR. I've zoomed in the waterfall and used the correction setting to center up, then narrowed the bandwidth to just outside the furthest signal indications on the waterfall. I've also adjusted the gain downward on the strongest signals so they don't go into limiting.

I'll try another session and take some screenshots over the weekend.

Screen shots don't provide much information, or at least not the most important information. Raw audio recordings reveal exactly what's wrong with a signal.

I've now stuck this thread. If you are having problems getting DSD+ to work please create your own thread that way this thread doesn't get cluttered up. Thanks.

Ran fine until my reboot this even. Solid! Never lost text, it shutdown gracefully.
Very happy! Would like to be able to resize the event log & source audio though!

I think these few lines are what needs to be adjusted, but I can't seem to get it right.

-wsl<v>.<h> Source audio waveform window location [10.10]
-wss<h>.<w> Source audio waveform window size (min 50.200; 0 blocks) [200.300]
-wsp<num> Source audio waveform window update period (10-1000) [100]

-wcl<v>.<h> Channel window location [90.90]
-wch<num> Channel window font height [15]

I would like neither to open.

I can confirm that 1.51 is displaying erroneous free channels for IDAS trunking. Just about every frequency I decode spits out bogus channels, plus should not show 31 since it's not a valid voice channel. And as far as I know there should only be one (## + 0) or two free channels announced per frame (Per docs I've read).

Fixes for IDAS issues require raw audio samples. To date, very few IDAS samples have been uploaded.

Same applies to decoding of site information on Linked Capacity Plus systems.

 

[DSDPlus]

First of all, many thanks to the developers!

One question: I noticed that the SRT files no longer contains the radioID. I am using DSDplus to monitor a MotoTRBO system and it was working fine before upgrading to the latest version.

Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

Thanks,

VA2HEB

.srt file handling is being reworked. Functionality will be restored at some point.

 

[DSDPlus]

Is there plans to decode MOTOTRBO Text Messages on the Roadmap/Pipeline? I install and maintain TRBO systems and would like to use that function as a tool in my toolbox. Thank you, TT.

MotoTRBO TMS (Short Message Service) is already supported. If you are referring to something else, please provide details.

 

[DSDPlus]

In relation to NXDN, in particular trunked voice, any chance of having encrypted/scrambled users identified? ie, in the Event Log window, perhaps with a [e] and in Red colour?

"NXDN" is ambiguous.

NEXEDGE control channels do not convey any encryption information.

 

[DSDPlus]

What Line-In level setting are people having the best results with? I'm finding it doesn't make much difference.

DSD+ doesn't really care what level you use. Just avoid clipping.

Thank You for the info.
