Used every possible combination of startup sequence, with and without timeouts.....nothing seems to help
Your VC FMP24 instance is not running or is not running properly or is not in VC mode. Address that. Messing with startup order and timeouts will not fix that issue. Have you shown us what the VC FMP24 console window displays?

Do you use priorities on talkgroups and radios? if so, verify that the threshold is set properly for your groups to be heard
I do have priorities, but the threshhold is set correctly. Tried to remove the priorities as well - it does not help.

It is in vc mode. Don't remember about the fmp vc console but here is a fresh screenshot of it.

What you are showing appears to be the linkID of 2001, which would be the default and not your batch files.

I think what we want to see is:

What the FMP24 CC and VC consoles look like
What the FMP-24 CC and VC GUIs look like
What the DSDPlus CC and VC Event Log windows look like


Code:
start DSDPlus -rv -i20006 -O NUL -fn -E -v4 -_3
start FMP24 -i2 -rv -o20006 -a1 -e0 -b4 -g28 -z0 -P41.7 -_1
timeout /t 1
start FMP24 -i1 -o20005 -a1 -e0 -b4 -g19.7 -z0 -P45 -_1
start DSDPlus -rc -i20005 -O NUL -fn -E -v4 -_3

If you use your batch files, you should have two FMP24 instances and two DSDPlus instances. You should have two FMP24 consoles, two FMP24 GUIs, and two DSDPlus GUIs (Event Log windows)

Can you get screenshots of all of that?

OR, get the FMP24 CC and VC screenshots when running the default:

FMP24-CC.bat
CC.bat
FMP24-VC.bat
VC.bat

Port is different from what I have posted before, because I am constantly trying something in order to get it running.
Latest change was to set everything to default.
This is the latest startup file:

start DSDPlus -rv -i20001
start FMP24 -i1 -rv -o20001 -g28 -P41.7
start FMP24 -i2 -o20002 -b4 -g19.7 -P45
start DSDPlus -rc -i20002 -fn

I tried my best to capture all at once. Only fmp vc is not in the shot as It was just posted.

The default CC.bat / FMP24-CC.bat use 20001
The default VC.bat / FMP24-VC.bat use 20002

Your other FMP24 screenshot shows LinkID 2001 but you say it is the FMP24-VC
In this screenshot it shows LinkID 2002 which you are saying is theFMP24-CC

Something wrong there.

The console window for the FMP24-CC copy should show:

Role is control/rest channel monitor;
Auto-starting control/rest channel following mode

Neither of yours show that.

Things simply aren't set up properly for two-dongle use with one for 24/7 CC monitoring and the other for 24/7 VC tuning

FMP24-CC should be using LinkID 20001
CC.bat should be using LinkID 20001
FMP24-VC should be using LinkID 20002
VC.bat should be using LinkID 2002

The console of the FMP24-CC should show:

Role is control/rest channel monitor;
Auto-starting control/rest channel following mode

That indicates that it is a CC-only monitor

---------------

The console of the FMP24-VC should show:

Trunk voice following active

That indicates it's the one that will handle voice calls.

Defaults:

FMP24-CC.bat
FMP24 -rc -i1 -o20001 -P0.0 -f935.0

CC.bat
DSDPlus -rc -T -E -Pwav -i20001 >>CC.log

FMP24-VC.bat
FMP24 -rv -i2 -o20002 -P0.0

VC.bat
DSDPlus -rv -T -E -Pwav -i20002 >>VC.log

My ports may not be exactly the same as te prebuild files. All in all it doesn't matter if FMP24-CC is pointed to 20001, CC.bat to 20001, FMP24-VC to 20002 and VC.bat 20002 or the other way around - FMP24-CC to 20002, CC.bat to 20002, FMP24-VC to 20001 and VC.bat 20001. What's important is fmp24 vc to be correctly pointed to dsd vc insance and the same for cc insances of both. If I am mistaken, please correct me.
The above shown startup sequence results in what's shown on the screenshot. I am not saying I am not mistaken something. I just can't find it. If you spot something, please give me a clue.

It matters when it confuses everyone else. When somebody asks you to use the default files, the default files should _be_ the default files and not modified. If they are modified they aren't default.

Please look at the "default" FMP24-CC.bat / FMP24.VC.bat / CC.bat and VC.bat entries that I just added in the previous post.

Please use those verbatim (rename what you already have in your directory of the same name if you have to). And actually run those and see what happens.

I did used prebuilt files and I stated that many times in my previous posts. Other than that, I am not seeing why you are confused as I cleary posted my startup sequence.

Code:
start DSDPlus -rv -i20006 -O NUL -fn -E -v4 -_3
start FMP24 -i2 -rv -o20006 -a1 -e0 -b4 -g28 -z0 -P41.7 -_1
timeout /t 1
start FMP24 -i1 -o20005 -a1 -e0 -b4 -g19.7 -z0 -P45 -_1
start DSDPlus -rc -i20005 -O NUL -fn -E -v4 -_3

If you use your custom batch files, notice that you don't have an FMP24 / DSDPlus "-rv" pair. But you do not have an FMP24 / DSDPlus "-rc" pair.

Your -i 20005 and -o20005 pair should both have -rc as commandline arguments, but your -o20005 FMP24 does not have -rc as a commandline argument.

The batch files that run the CC side of DSDPlus and FMP24 need to both have -rc in them
The batch files that run the VC side of DSDPlus and FMP24 need to both have -rv in them

Did run it both ways with pairs and without. Nothing changes

In your screenshot, your FMP24 for the CC should show:

Role is control/rest channel monitor;
Auto-starting control/rest channel following mode

It does not -- because -rc wasn't specified on the line.

No, please don't do anything again just to "ease the spirits". Do it so that you can fix your issue.

In this particular message thread, the only screenshots you posted of FMP24 were:


Neither of those show FMP24 running in -rc mode

I created 4 batch files and was successful in running DSDPlus on a NXDN48 system using CC/VC. Both SDRs are on the same computer and no network is involved.
Note, the two SDRs I used are aliased as 11 and 00000022 from other projects so I simply used those serial numbers
FMP24 -i"11" -o20005
DSDPlus -rc -i20005
FMP24 -i"00000022" -rv -o20006
DSDPlus -i20006 -rv -o1

All tuning, bandwidth and mode changes made via menu. Start simple, complicate it later.

I should have added that all files are latest versions and I am using Windows 10 Pro. Priorities are set all below the monitoring threshold and priority is working.
If this doesn't work, I would suggest that it may well be something with your computer or other programs not cooperating.

@mtindor It seems that cg's example also has missing -rc argument on his FMP24 VC instance. But there you go....

start DSDPlus -rv -i20002
start FMP24 -i1 -rv -o20002 -g28 -P41.7
timeout /t 1
start FMP24 -rc -i2 -o20001 -b4 -g19.7 -P45
start DSDPlus -rc -i20001 -fn

It could be something on the computer but it seems to be something from what has been changed because so far everything was working relatively fine.

Again, the program is working here as designed. You need to focus on what you are doing different.
Create 4 separate batch files and run them one at a time. That is how I did it.

Yes, I do understand that but actually the only thing that's different is the new files that came with the update. Haven't installed new software or made any new settings on my home computer for ages :)
Will dig up more around that idea but so far nothing comes to my mind. Will think more what could be in conflict with this new version :)
