Having no decode on the IDAS "status messages" that are broadcast every few seconds like analog LTR
systems. Does the program decode there? Have not heard any voice on the system yet.
thanks
Hello,
I tried dsdplus this evening on a couple of local IDAS systems. I could only get channel activity and data when voice frames were being transmitted. It did not pick up data frames, like the idle bursts. So you can only determine the site number and repeater with dsdplus when there is voice traffic.
There is a problem with the event log showing the wrong talkgroup. Talkgroup 1-96 was shown in the event log as 16777312.
If a talkgroup is active on a channel, then it will show up on Channel Activity and Event Log. If a second talkgroup is directed to another channel, then the still active talkgroup on the channel will disappear and only the second talkgroup will appear on Channel Activity. The event log will only show the second talkgroup as active. It also appears the radio id of the first talkgroup is shifted to the second talkgroup.

This can make it difficult to figure out the Repeater Number since the Idle Repeater messages are not decoded.
