DSDPlus Feature Requests

[jcardani]

I mentioned this in another thread but wanted to give more details.

Display the voice frames in hex bytes. Either use a switch or verbose (-v) level to activate the display.

For a check, the first 7 bytes from and unencrypted subscriber unit (not a console) should be silence and equal:

F8 01 A9 9F 8C E0 80

thank you!

Would it be possible to provide an audible alert if there is an emergency button activation on any P25 system TG for the system you're monitoring?

Kind of like a dispatch console.

It's a cool idea, although in my experience emergency button activations are false alarms 100% of the time, maybe some jurisdictions intentionally activate them during real emergencies. I can also see the benefit of an audible tone feature tied to a certain talkgroup or radio ID key-up .

I've seen two activations so far, and yes both were false. I just happened to glance at my pc last night and noticed the emergency group call in red.

I then isolated the TG on my receiver and heard it was false.

Thought an alert would be cool.
Maybe put a user setting in DSD+ if you want to have emergency alert on or off?

You better get right on it then. What's holding you up? We're all waiting for you to implement it.

As are millions of others of us

Sorry if this has been covered, but to what extent is the development of DSD continuing?

 

[mrscanner2008]

new request:
way to be able to identify and differentiate the TG of DMR. I have many systems here with the same TG 100 for 4 differents DMR system.

Are you referring to the original DSD (i.e. linux-based version), or DSDPlus (they are totally separate programs with very similar names)? If you're asking about the original DSD, I believe development stopped quite a while ago. Certainly DSD+ is under constant ongoing development, as demonstrated by the numerous FastLane releases.

I haven't seen this so forgive me if it has been brought up.

I would like to see the ability to isolate radio traffic via color code. I live in an area where there are numerous overlapping systems and it is challenging trying to get pure data on a system when other systems/users "step on" who I am trying to hear and log.
I have a Cap+ system I am trying to figure out and I have competing users on one of the frequencies and DSDPlus can't differentiate the difference. The color code is the only thing changing. The SysID stays on the screen. Unless someone has a workaround.
Thanks!

Possible in the future "fusion" ?

I have the same issue here in Maryland. That would certainly help a great deal!

Yaesu C4FM and TETRA (TMO) is a big challenge for authors DSD Plus

Yaesu C4FM is pointless. Who cares about listening to ham radio using DSD+? And for the very few that want to, they won't manage to learn how to use DSD+. And, yes I am a ham, so it's okay if I cast judgement upon the cluelessness of other hams.

I'd encourage the author to simply stay focused on what is used in public service / public safety / business and forget about silly ham stuff.

As was mentioned in another thread, I would like to see some kind of LCN finder integrated into the software. Perhaps the prerequisite could be that it would have a scanlist, similar to what's already part of FMP24, and it would perform similar statistical analysis as the Unidens do in their radios to determine LCN order of Connect Plus systems.

 

[Gilligan]

I know that this would potentially require a re-write of some fundamental areas, but I'd love to see all of the back-end network/site/frequency/group/radio text files be combined into one massive file instead, and for that file to use a standard .txt extension for ease of editing. I recently started on what would have been a massive database for the Dallas/Fort Worth area and realized how much more difficult such a task will likely be by having to edit at least three files just to get the systems to be recognized properly by DSDPlus. Now I'm not complaining about the software -- to the contrary, I love it and for the cost it's incredibly powerful. But since this is a thread about feature requests, this one seems to be pretty close to the top of my list.

I'd like to see something like this for each entire "network" in one file:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; PA Digital Radio Network

Network, Con+, 141, "PA Digital Radio Network"

Site, Con+, 141, 1, "Harrisburg"
Site, Con+, 141, 2, "Penn Township"
Site, Con+, 141, 3, "Lionville"

Freq, Con+, 141, 8, 1, 454.3500, 454.3500, 0
Freq, Con+, 141, 8, 3, 451.8250, 451.8250, 0
Freq, Con+, 141, 8, 5, 461.6625, 461.6625, 0

Group, Con+, 141, 20, 50, Normal, 19, 2016/09/22 9:20, "Radio Techs 20"
Group, Con+, 141, 200, 50, Normal, 3, 2016/09/21 15:49, "Radio Techs 200"
Group, Con+, 141, 206, 50, Normal, 1, 2016/09/21 16:48, "Radio Techs 206"

Radio, Con+, 141, -1, 4232, 50, Normal, 6, 2016/08/19 7:59, ""
Radio, Con+, 141, -1, 4233, 50, Normal, 7, 2016/08/19 5:52, ""
Radio, Con+, 141, -1, 4235, 50, Normal, 3, 2016/08/19 6:49, ""

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

This reminds me a little of the plain-text format used in the HomePatrol radio files. Theoretically it would also be possible to set up some kind of a hierarchy beginning with each network and then "closing" the network before reading in the next one. This may avoid having to retype so much extra stuff like "Site", "Group", etc as well as the individual system numbers since it would already be within the specified system. Of course, it would also leave a lot more room for errors with editors forgetting to "close off" systems and such...

 

[Gilligan]

In response to my previous post, another feasible option would be to have the frequencies for each site listed beneath the definition of each site:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Hallo,

I'm new in this forum, so good day for all. To the topic, an option of even BP key input somewhere in a code would be very appreciated. I have a good reasons to say that, believe me. Not every countries has so nice gov* as us or uk.

Best wishes

The author of DSDPlus has originally stated that they have made a version that includes revealing encryption algorithms but unfortunately due to placing vulnerabilities with companies that have encryption installed systems they won't release it. It would only increase the likely hood of changing over to higher security standards like AES 128bit etc.

Thank you for your attention

Hi,

I'm aware that such a mechanism is predicted by many folks. But, at first I do not hope for an end-user solution. I need only a clue how to start to modify an existing soft. Even I am not a soft eng I would try because this is important for many people. At second, I do not believe that such a laboratory tries could drive serious agencies to change theirs way of communication at short notice. We know that even BP is somehow troublesome in service logistics...

Thank you for your help and attention

 

[Forts]

Not many agencies even use BP due to it's extremely weak nature. If you have a need to listen to BP just buy a Moto radio or an ADCR25 board.
