DSDPlus Fastlane: Start in P25-Only Decode Mode?

[wagros]

Hi everyone,

I’d like to know if it’s possible to have Fastlane start already configured to only decode P25.

The reason I’m asking is because on the scan lists I use, some frequencies will occasionally carry DMR traffic when there’s no P25 activity, and I’d like Fastlane to just ignore that.

I checked through the notes.txt file but couldn’t find anything about it.

Thanks!

You can enable/disable any of them via the menu system under Decode. But, be careful. If you disable all but P25, you might run into a situation where it doesn't decode anything. Many times in the past I turned off decoding for certain things that I know I'll never hear around me, and ended up having troubles down the road that tracked back to me having disabled some protocols. When I switched it back to enable all protocols it started to work again without issues.

But sure, just do it via the menu system. Are you saying you've never clicked on the Decode menu?

Anything you set in DSDPlus' menu system is saved.

Yes, I’m familiar with the “Decoder” menu. I just wanted to know if there’s any parameter I can add to the “1R.bat” so I don’t have to go into that menu, since I usually run Fastlane on an old laptop and just let it run.

I don’t think so. In the latest version as many of the command line items have been removed since they’re in the menu.

Just disable it in the menu and exit properly and it will save that in. And the next time you fired it up, it will only have the modes enabled that you had enabled before you shut it down last time.

I asked ChatGPT and it suggested using the -fp parameter, but that only enabled “Decode ProVoice.”
I need to figure out which one is the correct parameter for P25.

DSDPlus -r1 -fp -i20001 -ds64 -dd7 -dv22>>1R-log.txt

Dsdplus -h

That worked!!
Turns out the right parameter is -f1.
Huge thanks for the help, really appreciate it!!!

You are welcome!

In the scanlist, put a ; before the entries that carry dmr and they will not be scanned.

I set my scanlist with a 9-second delay. When the P25 transmission ends, it doesn’t continue scanning because it starts decoding DMR instead.
With this solution of forcing P25 only, that problem is solved.

Maybe I didn’t explain myself clearly.
On the same frequency, I get strong P25 transmissions and also a weaker DMR signal on that same frequency. That’s why I wanted to block DMR decoding.

lol, yeah, had you wrote that I would not had suggested the ; in the scanlist.

My scan list has a mix of everything but I don’t have dmr and p25 on same freqs.

-f1 is your solution.
