TwoToneDetect New TwoToneDetect in the works - Python based

[DC31]

I ended up restarting the computer and entering all the email info again and it is now working. The problem I am now having is that the recordings are 1:30 long and the dispatch is only about .30 long. How do I shorten this up?

In the Edit Config Info window set the Record Time to 20-30 sec. and the release time to 1-2 sec. At the end of the Record Time, TTD listens for silence equal to the release time before ending the recording.

Also, adjust your Audio Squelch slider so the window shows No Audio at the top when there is no radio traffic and a tone value when squelch is broken, i.e., someone is talking on the radio.

How do I avoid multiple emails/texts for each dispatch?

I have three tone sets set up. I'll call them A (paramedics), B (firehouse 1), and C (firehouse 2).

When a medical is dispatched, dispatch may tone out A, A/B, or A/C.
When a fire is dispatched, the tone out may include B, C, B/C, or A/B/C.
Any of the above could be toned out by themselves as well. A, B, or C.

How do I go about receiving just ONE email/text when a call is dispatched? I know the "ignore_after" function is used to eliminate multiple emails, and it is currently set to the default of 60 for each tone set. What do I change that to in order to eliminate multiple emails during a tone out if more than one tone set is dispatched while still receiving an email if only one tone set is dispatched?

I have record time set to 30 sec. release time set to 2 sec and the squelch is all the way down and show "no Audio". But I am still ending up with 1:24 recordings.

After you make changes in the Configuration Window are you using the Exit/Save button rather than the X in the corner? After you have made changes in the Configuration you need to restart TTD for the changes to take effect. Otherwise, it looks like you have it right. 90 sec is the max recording time, it looks like you are hitting the max for each recording. Usually this is related to the squelch level setting.

Yes I have been using the save exit and if I close it and reopen it has saved my changes. What is the best way to set the squelch? Right now I have it all the way to the left.

I'm still having crashing issues every 3-4 days with V70. Is anyone else seeing this?

Could not retrieve tracking file

Can someone please assist me with this issue? It continues to show up on all 3 servers.

Having some real difficulty with my dept's computer that was running TTD, however is now refusing to start- it gives me a message:
TwoToneDetect had trouble finding or accessing an audio device on your system. You may need to plug a speaker and/or line input into your PC in order for the system to activate the audio device.

I have tried different speakers/microphone lines(from Scanner), I even got a USB audio device from Amazon, and tried hooking into that to no avail. I can listen to the stream from the scanner through the computer speakers, so the computer is definitely seeing the audio. TTD just refuses to even open to allow me to change the input/outputs, which is dumb TBH.

Try opening your config.cfg file in a text editor and setting your input and output device indexes both to 0.

I have no problem connecting with other FTP clients. I am going to try to host the files on a different server and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks!

I doubt this is your problem, but passing it along just in case. I've had one user with this problem:

Ok I think I know what's going on. When the FTP server responds to the PASV request from TTD, it's responding with the following:

Response arg: Entering Passive Mode (10,0,1,7,46,252)

This is telling TwoToneDetect to connect to an IP address of 10.0.1.7 for the passive mode data transfer. However, this is the local IP of the FTP server on its LAN, not the external facing IP address, so TTD can't connect to it for data transfer (hence the timeout error). While it appears that WinSCP and some other FTP clients must be smart enough to recognize that this is a non-routable IP address and ignore it, the Python library that I'm using doesn't do that. I hesitate to "fix" this since it's really a problem with the FTP server setup...it should be providing the external IP in the PASV response. Here's some additional info:

Thanks Andy! I'll look at that also.

Ok brand new install of windows 10 TTD, Proscan and Radio Scan. 3 days of running TTD crashed again. Is it because I have Python installed on the machine for scripts?

I have been running TwoToneDetect v69 for nearly a year and all of a sudden I started getting an Audio Device Error. It states, "TwoToneDetect had trouble finding or accessing an audio device on your system. You may need to plug a speaker and/or line input into your PC in order for the system to activate the audio device. TwoToneDetect will now exit."

I found a previous thread with this problem. That person plugged in headphones and it worked. No luck for me. I downloaded and installed v70, but still the same error.

I have an audio cord going from the scanner into a USB audio adapter. I tried a different audio adapter, no luck. I tried plugging the audio cord directly into the computer, no luck. Here is the error message when I try to start TwoToneDetect debug.

It's an audio driver issue related to the most recent Windows 10 update. I had to roll back to the previous build of Windows 10. I tried everything I could think of installing and uninstalling drivers. Only rolling back to previous build of Windows 10 was successful.

 

[StCharlesScan]

I just did the roll back to the previous build of Window 10. Looks like it's working. Thanks.

Microsoft sucks

I just did the roll back to the previous build of Window 10. Looks like it's working. Thanks.

I was pulling my hair out the last two days trying to figure out why. Windows did a sneaky update.
