When i try to click on FMP, I get the 'no command line parameters were set' error, either running it from CMD or just clicking on it. I have all the settings in the .config file.

The settings that you change go in a batch file or on the command line. You do not click on the .exe files.

For two SDR units, you start FMP for control channel, DSDPlus for Control Channel, FMP for Voice Channel, then DSDPlus for Voice Channel. That sets the parameters for the control channel SDR and starts it. Batch files are simple to set up and you can make a different one for each system or type of decoding.

For example, my 4 batch files in text format are below. You can copy them, one at a time, to Notepad and save each separately with a file name of your choosing. I suggest putting the numbers 1, 2, 3 or 4 in the name of each one to be able to quickly figure out the start order, especially if you set up multiple files for different protocols.

Important note on how to create your batch files. Instead of just typing the file name ("1-Acme DMR" for example) you would type "1-Acme DMR.bat" and then save into your DSDPlus folder.

First one:
FMP 22222 1 104.0 450.00000

Second one:
DSDPlus -i22222 -v3 -o0 -fa -rc -T >>CC.log

Third one:
FMP 33333 2 112.5 999.99999

Fourth one:
DSDPlus -i33333 -v3 -fa -rv -I0 -Pwav -T >>VC.log

Obviously, you need to set the control channel frequency instead of 450.00000. Once you get it started and working, you then can tweak them for your own system. The Help files have lots of info in them. Don't be afraid to experiment.

Great! Thank you cg. I will try thing when I get home tonight.

BTW, am I correct in thinking that FMP w/ DSD+ will be much less CPU intensive than SDR#? I'm trying to get everything working on a Winbook TW100 and while SDR# w/ DSD+ plus works, the decoding isn't always stellar. Hoping for better results with FMP/DSD+ combo.

It's WAY less cpu intensive. SDR# is great but it's a hog.

Ok wow, all I had to do was click on the BAT file, not the EXE and it works....duh. So now I have the FMP receiver working. I'll have to figure out how to set up scan lists and trunking now. Thanks for the help everyone.
