DSDPlus, Scan FM Mode

[DRL-XM43]

I am using the format shown in the bottom of the quoted post and it seems to work fine with fmp24, except if it hits a control channel. It does not resume scanning. It also wont switch to AM unless AM is in the freq string.

The same format does not work with fmpa. It keeps scanning no matter what, and will not switch to am when there is an aircraft comm even if those 4 are set for AM..


What I am testing with. The first 7 are p25. 8 and 9 are nxdn (no activity yet). And the last 4 are airband.. Both fmp24.scanlist and fmpa.scanlist are exactly the same inside..

170.75000 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 Sec 1 
408.20000 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 sec 2
408.17500 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 UNKNOWN
171.97500 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 BNL
171.81250 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 BNL n141
171.62500 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 Fire Island
172.07500 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 Boston
452.65625 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 E I 1
461.68125 BW=12.5 DELAY=2 E I 2
125.70000 AM BW=12.5 DELAY=2 Airport
135.80000 AM BW=12.5 DELAY=2 air
135.90000 AM BW=12.5 DELAY=2 air
129.15000 AM BW=12.5 DELAY=2 air

Control channels are not usually included because they are continuous broadcast and so the scan will hold on it indefinitely. The others will hold until voice activity ceases. I do not use FMPA so I don't know about that.

My DSD+ version = 2.71, my FMPA version = 2.15

The most recent FMPA version is only 2.14?

The same format does not work with fmpa. It keeps scanning no matter what, and will not switch to am when there is an aircraft comm even if those 4 are set for AM..

The docs don't say anything about FMPA being able to demodulate AM.

What I am testing with. The first 7 are p25. 8 and 9 are nxdn (no activity yet). And the last 4 are airband.. Both fmp24.scanlist and fmpa.scanlist are exactly the same inside..

Again, the docs say nothing about FMPA being able to handle AM or BW or DELAY modifiers.

Did DSDPlus send that to you to try? I too have FMPA 2.14... And thats with the last update..

Sorry. Had not had any coffee when I posted that...

 

[vince48]

Nope, got it in the last update
