First Stab At DSDPlus

[rkillins]

Trying to get up and running after having tried to digest the DSDPlus Fastlane notes.

Trying to monitor a single frequency DMR frequency.

FMP.bat file I created:

FMP -o20001 -f164.2500

FMP reports:

. . .
Using TCP Port 20001
SDR Device count=1
Found Rafael Micro R820T tuner
Found Rafael Micro R820T tuner
Tuner Type=5 <R820T>
. . .
Listening on TCP Port 20001

DSDPlus.bat file I created:

DSDPlus -i20001 -o1

When running DSDPlus, it's sending me this message

Initiating FMPx link using link ID 20001
FMPx link error = -5
[Server is not listening on selected link ID]

ECHO
CD LOCATION_OF_EXE
Start CMD /c FMP24 -rc -i0 -o20010 -b12.5 -fFREQUENCY -e0
timeout/t 2
Start CMD /c "DSDPlus -r1 -i20010 -t -E -v4 -O NUL"

Since you didn't say if you were using 1 or more SDRs, here is my setup files for 1 sdr(1R.bat)
Edit the FREQUENCY with that DMR cc and the LOCATION_OF_EXE needs to be the location to where the dsdplus.exe file is(do NOT include the file in the folder path)

look in the FMP.txt and DSD.txt files to learn what the arguments I used are for.

First off, if you are using DSDPlus you use FMP24 . FMP is old.

Thank you both. Wealth of difference using FMP24. For some reason I thought the different versions of FMP were hardware specific and FMP was for the RTL-SDRs. Not sure where I dreamt that, but I was wrong.

Also, I realized that my OP didn't include my questions. One of course was that I was getting that FMPx link error (solved), but the other was ....
I have two RTL-SDR dongles plugged in. FMP reports an SDR device count of 1, but 2 Rafael Micro R820T tuner mentioned. So, are both my dongles visible?

I can't remember if perhaps they are enumerated as 0 and 1 (and thus you have two), or if it might be a case whereby the serial numbers are the same on the dongles and you have to use a utility to write a custom serial number to one/both of them to differentiate the two. I just haven't used dongles in some years now and really can't remember.

If you have two dongles in, try to use the commandline switch in FMP24 to specify 0 or 1 for the device -- and see if it works with both. If it works with both, then you know it's seeing both devices and the devices are 0 and 1.
