local RTL-SDR wiz?

[nessnet]

I got a couple of RTL-SDRs.
Got trunking working great via UniTrunker (KCERS), so now I want to venture into P25 II.
I have DSD Fastlane. So, far, no luck. Read the tutorials, but either I'm missing something, or it is simpler than I realize.

I'd like to get them set up to long term log WSDOT's new 700. Anyone want to walk me through it?

I would owe you one.

Are you going to dedicate 2 sdrs or 1?
If you’re using 1, then you need to edit cc.bat and 1R.bat files.
You need to edit the cc.bat with the frequency you want to monitor.
The 1R.bat I don’t think you have to edit. After editing the CC file run both of those bat files and you should get a connection

This is my 1 RTL-SDR batch file for a local P25 Phase 2 system.

Start CMD /c dsdplus
Start CMD /c FMP24.exe -o20001 -P0.0 -f151.010 -b9.5 -g14.4

Adjust the PPM value (-P0.0) and the gain (-g14.4) as needed.

I assume, but ask: Is the "-f151.010" the freq?

Yes, 151.010 is the control channel frequency for my local system. Your frequency will be different.

what errors are you seeing? need more info.

and you're looking into a 700 mhz system, but you're feeding it a VHF Hi freq?

No...... duh - of course I'm changing the freq. Or, making sure I am.
I was asking - in R0am3r's posted batch file - verifying that it was in fact, the cc freq.

I guess I was being a bit lazy - thought someone local might have a 'turnkey', or step by step for me.
I'll eventually get it - I just have to devote the time, when I actually have some. Or, someone local steps up....
