Here is a screenshot of the programs running but no decoding.???
Any help will be really appreciated
Enzo

Your bandwidth should be 12.5
You need to find a frequency carrying a signal which DSD+ decodes.
Why do you think your signal is C4FM where did you find that information? What system would that be?
Does your location have a page in the Radio Reference Database section? If it does you will find frequencies there to try.

Look at the list of decoders enabled.

If you find a Control Channel then you should use FMP not SDR# - read the text file for help - fmp will follow the trunk frequencies and decode them.

Anyone have the answer to why dsdplus will not save locations and sizes of windows. I used the "w" command to find the locations but its useless.

I edited the cc and vc batch with this "-wsl0.0 -wss0.0 -wel131.1276 -wes282.387 -weh15 -wcl761.22 -wcs34.500 -wch15 -H34 " and it just won't remember my commands. I noticed when all the windows close they write to a bin. Is this where I need to modify and if so where is it? When they open they all stack on top in the left corner of my screen. I would like for them to open where I placed them. Others have said to remove the edit in the batch files and I did, but it didn't change anything. Glad the DSDPlusUI remembers its place.

For DSDPlus Fastlane uers -

See this post that covers what you need to do - DSDPlus - How do you organize your windows?

Remove the parms from the batch files, start DSDPlus, drag and resize the DSDPlus windows to the location and size you want then gracefully exit DSDPlus so that the bin file is updated, restart DSDPlus.

Remove the parms from the batch files
I read that before and tried it, but it didn't help. I removed my commands and tried it again. The same 3 do what they want regardless of my efforts.

The rule does not apply to the console windows, DSD+ doesn't control size/position of those.. I just minimize those manually..

That would answer my question. Thanks, now I know. I closed and reopened and they stayed put.

This tells DSD+ NOT to save DSD+ window positions! Do not use any and it will remember if you close properly, I use right click - close all on the win bar.

They will be where you last positioned them and in the same state when started back up.

If you like the FMPx to be in a certain place use something like this in the line -_1 -wsl000.00
Minimize it if you prefer.

Those were the positions I used once I hit the "w" key to see what the locations were after I had them where I wanted them. This is what it looks like now.
W Display window locations and high contrast value found in dsdplus.txt.
Source audio window location and size: -wsl0.0 -wss0.0
2020.03.29 21:40:27 Event log window location, size and font height: -wel433.918 -wes295.500 -weh15
2020.03.29 21:40:27 Channel activity window location, size and font height: -wcl928.480 -wcs34.355 -wch15
2020.03.29 21:40:27 High contrast mode: -H34

- OK for the Bandwidth that should be 12.5.
- I have a frequency that carries the C4FM Yaesu signal because it is another amateur Radio that has it.
- I do not know if my location has a page in the Radio Reference Database Section. Where to see it please?

I wan to clarify that i am using a Funcube Dongle Pro Plus and not a USB Stick
Thanks

The console windows can be automatically minimized at startup with parms in your batch files -

For FMP24/FMPA -

Minimize FMP windows at startup value Screenshot - 8_12_2018 , 09_16_09.png


For DSDPlus -

Minimize DSDPlus windows at startup value Screenshot - 8_12_2018 , 09_12_10.png

In my case for FMP24/FMPA I use -_1 and for DSDPlus I use -_3

Ok, I have gone as far as I can. Hit a brick wall. Not sure what to do next.

Here is the fcc info on the frequencies I'm drawing from. dsd+fl says I have 7 ch but I'm not even sure if I have the right 4 that I found in the spectrum. Is anyone willing to help decipher this?
So far I'm interested in the bus, taxi and dump truck and maybe a tow truck co. I made up my own tree because I wasn't sure what they actually are because none of them can be found on radio reference.
Also, I have not seen any info from 1r data or event log about lcn numbers. The info I have uploaded to my scanner only uses 2 frequencies, but I think more are involved. 461.5250 and 463.2250

What I maybe seeing is that you don't have enough signal to get a quality control channel decode and the extra 3 channels maybe due to error. I am not a expert but I do have this problem with one of our P25 systems in our county and the signal from my location is very low.

Thanks for the quick reply. When I bought my airspy mini at check out the site recommended this.

I looked around on the site and picked this thinking it would cover what I needed. No idea about radio waves and found out I really needed an antenna that focused on uhf 400mhz band. I'm using it now until my new equipment arrives.


I wasn't sure if the 10' magnetic base would work so I bought a sma female whip. Diamond® Antenna ~ SRH77CA Dualband HT Antenna

After learning some more I will be putting that on my Uniden instead of my mini replacing the stock antenna. Many on this thread recommended NooElec RaTLSnake M5 and so I bought it and a BNC Plug Male To SMA Female Jack RF Connector for the Uniden.

I searched for a while to find a telescopic antenna that would fit the ADSB Magnetic Mount Antenna base. The pigtail screws off. No luck.

I do hope it is only a signal issue. So sick of troubleshooting.

The RaTL Snake antenna I have and works very well but that is the only indoor antenna I have. The rest I have are on a TV push up pole on the side of my house. The P25 system I have problems is VA hospital that is low power and 25 miles away Even with external antennas that are 25 feet in the air. This is a NEXGEN 48 system that is 25 miles away and you can see I get decent signal and I am running it the same way you have yours set up. Also don't give up it takes time to get things right.

I won't be able to have an outdoor antenna, but the transmitter with the frequencies I'm interested in is only Total distance: 3.23 mi away.

Your second picture showing FMPx spectrum has practically zero signal I am amazed you are getting anything from DSD+.

Until you figure out how to tune in a viable signal troubleshooting anything is pointless. I cannot read your gain value, what is it?

You need something that looks like this.....
