Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using DSDPlus FastLane and I'm trying to use the Siteloader for the first time, but I'm receiving the following error message when I try to load a DMR TIII site on the SiteLoader window:

No Channel data found for TIII site 1-40 [Business]

Where should I put the frequency of the control channel for the SiteLoader to work and run the CC 171.33125 on the FMP24CC ?

I appreciate any help!

I'm having the same problem, any suggestions on what I did wrong? When I try to load them I get the message shown in the photo. This is how it is listed in the DSD frequencies file. Does it also need to be entered in the site file? Finally it will not decode when on the control channel, but if I put it on the voice channel it decodes.

Where's the network ID and the site number? You can't just substitute zeroes for them.

When I put in the network id (28) and site number (5) it says Lost Control Channel and jumps between the three TX channels

You have inputs and outputs wrong in the frequencies file

453 go first, then 458

Thanks, just did it as the sample in the original file suggested
; line format:
;
; protocol, networkID, siteNumber, OTAchannelNumber, TXfrequency, RXfrequency, sortOrder

Understood. I get what you are saying. But look at it the other way -- the repeater that you are entering in the frequencies file is indeed transmitting on 453 and receiving on 458 :) But yes, it can be confusing. now ya know :)

God forbid standard terminology is used like "Output" and "Input" instead of trying to be clever with "TX" and "RX". Also, why the heck does DSD+ even have a column in those files to fill in trunked system repeater inputs in the first place? Seems like frivolous nonsense that should've been simplified years ago. Clearly the software functions just fine if you set all of those fields to 0.0, which is frankly a waste of time. Needless complication because the software author was bored.

Perhaps they envisioned adding a feature like trunk tracking the inputs at some point. Usually, I just set the extra field to 0.0; not a big deal.
