DSDPlus GUI Frequency/Site/Group Editor

[adsbgreenock]

Hello Guys,

I'm wondering if in the future the DSDplus Faslane program will have a GUI added that will allow us to run the program and save the frequencies, talkgroups and radio ids to a file containing one line
for each hit?

For example as it stands just now. If there are no frequencies in the frequencies file the program will start filling up the other files (groups, sites, radios) and we don't know what groups, sites, radios belong to what frequency?

It would be good to see either a GUI built into the program that would show and save all the information displayed in the event log and channel activity window and tie it to the frequency.

Or maybe I'm dreaming out loud?

I know there is a GUI out there just now but it really only opens up each file to be edited.

What do you guys think?

Regards

In the old dos Trunker days someone came up with a program what would ingest all your log files, then show you a list of all talk groups observed. Clicking on a talk group would show you what radio IDs were seen on that group… also clicking on a RID would show you what groups that radio had been on. It was pretty slick… something like that would be handy, but it’s vastly more complicated now that we have different protocols, different systems with similar TG/RIDs etc all in one event log.

Hi Forts ,
Thanks for the reply .
Yes this is exactly what I mean , even a log would suffice , the way proscan does it Freq ,TGID ,CC .
Just now I am using the dsdplus GUI (same one that's been made the plugin for sdr#)
Still have to manually add freqeuncies though .
Youre right I guess it is much more difficult with the new systems , and shared sites .

One option that you might consider is to get DSD+ to write per call wav files, and configure it to add the frequency/TGIDs/Radio IDs etc to the wav filename. When you run USAP against this list of wav files you can then generate a log file from the USAP interface, or it has a csv output option.

USAP can be found here: Release.zip

Not sure if it isn't what you want but...

With Fast lane, you can display a window with Groups seen in a user set time frame (1 min to 24 hours). You can then show the RIDs seen in a user set range. If you click a Group, it will show the radios that have used that group in that time frame.
WINDOW/CURRENT SEEN GROUPS/CURRENT SEEN GROUPS WINDOW
Same with radios

Also, per call recording with talkgroup and radio aliases is available via the Output tab.

Yes that is a nice feature, but it doesn't log in a single line file or let you export that list. It also doesn't combine freqs with the info.

My country in europe dont use trunking, not use / need DSD fastlane but you know this GUI https://dsdplusui.com/

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your replies and suggestions. Just now I use dsdplusui as it's still quicker than manually opening folders and files.
As Raleighguy mentioned the set user time frame doesn't log the frequencies alongside groups, sites and radios .

I'm thinking some of the amazing interfaces that people have already created for the different types of decoder, someone good with code would be able to achieve this.
On the other hand though it may be that it's simply too much trouble attempting to log all this information and neatly combine it?

Thanks again


Regards

save the frequencies, talkgroups and radio ids to a file containing one line for each hit?

Does that in the event log. There is a one line entry for every event that takes place.

If there are no frequencies in the frequencies file the program will start filling up the other files (groups, sites, radios) and we don't know what groups, sites, radios belong to what frequency?

It would be good to see either a GUI built into the program that would show and save all the information displayed in the event log and channel activity window and tie it to the frequency.

It does that. Just open the event file and extract what you wish. This is my event log and it shows freq, site nac, talk group, and radio id

2022/08/09 08:32:42 Freq=774.156250 NAC=3C3 Group call; TG=10103 Islip 2 RID=5276153 Ch=770.50625-1

My country in europe dont use trunking, not use / need DSD fastlane but you know this GUI https://dsdplusui.com/

Well that first part of your statement is just plain wrong.

Hi Guys ,
Not sure if I explained it properly or you misunderstood what I'm asking Dave3825

You first have to enter these frequencies into the 'frequencies file' beforehand yes?

They don't just end up in the event log. Well mines don't anyway.

I am meaning automation of this process

Hamradionl : There is plenty of trunking going on also. Before we left EU (Scotland UK) and after.

Well that first part of your statement is just plain wrong.

I start the first words: "My country " .... after that came "in europe".
my antenna is 15 meters above ground level, free view cover over more as 100 km wide range (near halve the size my total country area). I always be open for new info so if you able to point me to full trunking network i my local area, please?

Depends on what your doing. If trying to scan trunked systems, then yes except for P25. Once you tune to a P25 control channel, it takes all the over the air data and populates a file called DSDPlus.P25data

quote from notes file
"
By request, added a new data file named DSDPlus.P25Data;
DSD+ auto-records P25 trunking system information for each monitored system/site.
Information includes system IDs, system bandplans, site numbers, site NACs, site BSIs,
site neighbors, site channels and their usage (CC/SCC/voice/data)
"

They don't just end up in the event log. Well mines don't anyway.

Next time your in dsd, type ? and it will display all available options. Below is one I generated from version 2.34. You need to add a -E to your 1r bat files

"
Display/Logging options:
>file Create log file
>>file Append to log file
-_<num> Minimize selected windows at startup (bitmapped, 0-15) [-_0]
-- Show command line options in console window title
-t Time stamp console log file entries
-T Time stamp console log file entries and console screen data
-E Add frequency/NAC/RAN/DCC/RAS data to event log file entries
-F<num> Filename modifier; use to avoid filename collisions [F0]
-H<num> High contrast mode (bitmapped, 0-63) [-H0]
-v<num> Frame information verbosity (0-4) [-v3]
"

Hello DAVE,

You're not going to believe this (actually you will)
I have been using SDRUno and piping the audio to dsdplus.

Instead of running FMPP.cc with the Rsp Duo lol.
So I'm bypassing the actual program.

No wonder there are no frequencies. (excuse my stupidity)

I had Windows 7 installed which I am now having to swap to Windows 10 as there is problems with the bluescreen errors.

I will follow your instruction when the new Windows install boots.

Thanks for this

Some people feed dsd in different ways and some of the options may not work for them. I mostly use with fmp24 with dsdplus and have been logging that way for a while. I also populate the fmp24.scanlist with conventional p25 or dmr freqs and let it scan. That to will logs the hits with freq nac tg and radio id.

I am actually referring to the Netherlands.

Full trunking now, eh? What is your difference between full and not full trunking?
But this is getting off topic.

 

[adsbgreenock]

OK I managed a fresh install of windows 10 and started from scratch as I was having some problems with the duo in FMPP.

At first I was piping the audio from sdr uno to dsd
But this is why I wasn't seeing any frequencies or any information, for that matter in the dsd files.

So Ive been trying to get this running properly and entering the frequencies OK.

Thanks for the replies I now have it sorted

Regards

 

[hamradionl]

please point me to just one trunking network frequency in my country, i be happy to give openly all credits.
