DSDPlus FMP does not appear to load frequency data

[wolfhound89]

I am working on an initial set-up of DSD+ (non-fastlane) on a Windows 7 machine with 2 RTL-SDR v3 dongles.

I built up a frequency list using digital frequency search for my county and named it FMP-FreqList.csv. When I run FMP it seems to stop at Loading frequency data.

When I look in the DSDPlus folder the file reads "FMP-FreqList" , file type CSV . Could that be the issue? That the file name is incorrect or am I looking at it wrong in the configuration file?

Thank you for the help.

You don't have Windows Explorer set to show file extensions. Not a problem.

Sounds like FMP is choking on the file. If the name was wrong, FMP wouldn't be looking at it.

Can you zip up the file and attach it here?

 

[wolfhound89]

Thank you for the reply. I have attached the zipped file.

I use Windows Explorer details view. Is that not the correct one?

Thanks

what happens when you enter one of the frequencies? with FMP it shows the record(FMP-FreqList) in the CMD window


it shows for me in the CMD, unlike FMP24 which shows it also in the Spectrum window

FMP.cfg open with a text editor and change the lat/lon to yours (I set mine back to the default lat/lon and my freq list wouldn't load)

 

[wolfhound89]

Here is what I see when I run FMP.

 

[wolfhound89]

Here is the FMP config file. I only changed the search distance and my lat / long. Thank you for taking a look at this and your help.

should be
32.9342 -97.2293

without the - before 97.2293 it puts you in Yushu, Qinghai, China

 

[wolfhound89]

Wow. Thank you @PDXh0b0 . I had a feeling that it would be something easy once it was found and it was. Totally a fat finger issue on my part.
Now when I put in a frequency such as a railroad nearby FMPut window lists the frequencies.

I really appreacite the help as it has been frustrating.

if it's not fun, it's not much of a hobby

glad you got it working

 

[wolfhound89]

This is true. It has to be fun.

My next hurdle is getting the audio setup correctly so FMP feeds DSDPlus. Never imagined that a simple basic PC would cause such headaches. Heck, who am I trying to fool

Shot in the dark..
Run the FMP-CC.bat , tune to the frequency

Open VC.bat in a text editor
Change -i20002 to -i20001
Save as VC(fmp).bat and run it

I tried it on a DMR and it worked, FMP isn't going to trunk follow, but it is decoding the frequency it is sitting on.

Thanks for the guidance. So the area I am trying to monitor is here North Texas Interoperable Radio Network (NTIRN) Site: Northeast Tarrant
I tried to tune to the control channels and I saw some on the green in the spectrum analyzer but never any audio. Curiiously, I am not getting any sound when I run FMP with or without DSDPlus. Not even white noise. So, I think I messed that up. I probably fat fingered any command.

Here are some screen shots of what I saw this morning.

Thanks.

One sdr dongle? What you need is SDRtrunk

Or DSDPlus Fastlane

 

[wolfhound89]

Yeah. I am not well versed in software and seem to enjoy the pain (lessons learned). My master plan was to set up my Win 7 desktop with two RTL-SDR v3 dongles and DSDPlus Fastlane. In my mind it made sense to get the basic DSDPlus up and working first. It appears that I would be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

I do have a Win 10 laptop that I have plans to put SDR trunk on. I seem to be stuck on the fact that I need to get DSDPlus working first. I paid for FastLane. Maybe I should just make the jump now. Not really sure.

I fully understand that I am all over the map in my "projects". I just wish I could get past this DSDPlus hurdle.

 

[PDXh0b0]

So you have DSDPlus Fastlane?

 

[wolfhound89]

Yes. I thought (right or wrong) that you had to get the public version up and running first. I guess I was wrong?

 

[PDXh0b0]

you basically dump the contents of your first fastlane zip file into the DSDPlus101 folder

Making youtube videos takes a skillset I lack lmao

 

[wolfhound89]

Thanks for the video. It makes sense. Better than I could have done most certainty. I see that you have other DSDPlus fastlane videos to watch. Looks like I have some learning to do. I saw this the first time I ran FMP24.

What is running in that window?
