Hey all, wondering if there's a way to get around this. I have several Capacity Plus systems in my area which have several sites all with one single frequency each, and each site has the same frequency - 410.8125. Each site broadcasts a different color code, and I'm sure I have seen the DSD+ FL event log show that the site numbers are announced by the channels as well. I tried to put them all in an entry in the DSDPlus config files so they will get identified as such when I tune to them, rather than just a "Conv" or Cap+ sysid 0 system.

The problem seems to be that DSD+ matches the first site that has that frequency, regardless of which site I'm actually monitoring. I drove around a bit today and hit on three sites, none of which was Site 1 in the system, but the software identified it as site 1 all three times. There wasn't any voice traffic while I was through today, so I don't know if that would have impacted it.

Can anyone think of a way that I can get DSD+ to recognize which site it's actually on and not assume the first site with that frequency is the right one?

Here's some of the relevant data:

Code:
2021-05-30 11:04:46  Freq=410.812500  Current network:  10001  AHS PS+M Calgary
2021-05-30 11:04:47  Freq=410.812500  Current site:  10001-1  Okotoks
2021-05-30 11:06:38  Freq=410.812500  DCC=5  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-3  Canmore
2021-05-30 11:06:38  Freq=410.812500  DCC=5  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-6  Didsbury
2021-05-30 11:06:38  Freq=410.812500  DCC=5  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-8  Airdrie

2021-05-30 12:34:26  Freq=410.812500  Current network:  10001  AHS PS+M Calgary
2021-05-30 12:34:26  Freq=410.812500  Current site:  10001-1  Okotoks
2021-05-30 12:34:40  Freq=410.812500  DCC=8  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-5  Cochrane
2021-05-30 12:34:40  Freq=410.812500  DCC=8  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-6  Didsbury
2021-05-30 12:34:40  Freq=410.812500  DCC=8  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-9  Strathmore

2021-05-30 15:08:22  Freq=410.812500  Current network:  10001  AHS PS+M Calgary
2021-05-30 15:08:22  Freq=410.812500  Current site:  10001-1  Okotoks
2021-05-30 15:08:36  Freq=410.812500  DCC=9  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-7  High River
2021-05-30 15:08:36  Freq=410.812500  DCC=9  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-8  Airdrie
2021-05-30 15:08:36  Freq=410.812500  DCC=9  10001-1 neighbor:  Site 10001-10  Vulcan

The first one, CC 5, is the Cochrane site; the site with CC 8 is Airdrie; and the site with CC 9 is Strathmore.

I don't have the raw output of the console window - trying to figure out how to do that with my setup, I am using the "start" command so the >> redirect isn't behaving.

The relevant system in DSDPlus.sites and DSDPlus.frequencies respectively:

Code:
Cap+,10001,1,"Okotoks"
Cap+,10001,2,"Black Diamond"
Cap+,10001,3,"Canmore"
Cap+,10001,4,"Claresholm"
Cap+,10001,5,"Cochrane"
Cap+,10001,6,"Didsbury"
Cap+,10001,7,"High River"
Cap+,10001,8,"Airdrie"
Cap+,10001,9,"Strathmore"
Cap+,10001,10,"Vulcan"

Code:
Cap+,10001,1,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,2,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,3,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,4,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,5,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,6,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,7,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,8,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,9,1,410.8125,0.0,0
Cap+,10001,10,1,410.8125,0.0,0

And finally, the system in question, for completeness' sake:
