I have some local hospitals, schools, transportation, public works, businesses, etc programmed into my Uniden Scanners as a DMR One Frequency Trunk. It works fine that way. But I'm trying to get it to work with DSD+ and am having trouble setting up the .frequencies file.
I set up the frequencies in the .frequencies file in order to "calibrate" my settings.

Here is how I have some of the frequencies set up in the frequencies file. What I usually do is look up their FCC Licence and input all the Frequencies to see if I can rule something out,

DMR, 0, 1, 0, 461.85, 461.85, 0, 1
DMR, 0, 1, 0, 152.405, 152.405, 0, 2
DMR, 0, 1, 0, 157.575, 157.575, 0, 3
DMR, 0, 1, 0, 457.725, 457.725, 0, 4
DMR, 0, 1, 0, 457.8375,457.8375, 0, 5
DMR, 0, 1, 0, 461.0625, 461.0625, 0, 6
DMR, 0, 1, 0, 461.525, 461.525, 0, 7
DMR, 0, 1, 0, 461.9375, 461.9375 0, 8

Has anyone else tried to listen to a DMR Convention Frequency in DSD+? Is this the correct setup, or am I missing something?

If it's all different conventional freqs, that are not part of a trunked system, I don't think that method will work.

You could make use of the fmpx.scanlist. Enter the freqs in the scan list file in the correct format (examples in the .scanlist file), set a delay and scan them. That's how I do conventional P25 NXDN and DMR.

In addition to what's posted above, if you set your logging (I believe) to the highest level, it will log the freq, tg and nac/cc/ran that was used in the event log for reviewing. I do this with any new licenses of interest and just let it run for a while.

Intresting you mentioned this because i tried the FMPx.scannlist before and had no luck. I couldnt get the scan delay to work, regardless of what i put in It would scan wayyy to fast. Is there something im missing? Below is from an old dmr frequency i was monitoring in the past. D719AFD7-6277-4ABA-974C-90D0DEB4DF4A.jpeg

I have logging set to 4, thats the highest.

The scanlist does not show comma's in the examples and I never used them and my delay works. Try removing the comma's and see how that works.

Okay, removed the comma's, i set the delay to 5 seconds now just in case and it apparers to be scanning now. I will let it sit and see what happens.

The scanlist is a nice feature that I use often, mainly for fed logging and finding active freqs on newly granted fcc licenses.
