For MPT1327 systems:

Some "default" system IDs are reused often enough that the system ID can't be reliably used to distinguish two systems. This is almost as bad as EDACS and LTR (but not quite). The frequency is an easy way to distinguish two systems that have similar control channel traits.

How is the software handling this at the moment? Yesterday I did a search across a few MHz of spectrum and the software identified several MPT1327 systems. Some of them were already in the systems list imported from dos trunker. In one case Uniform picked up the details from the already logged system (0x2461), in two cases (0x3DA1, 0x3D99) it didn't and created new entries.

Today running the same search Uniform picked up the info from 0x2461 again, picked up the info from yesterdays 0x3D99 but created another new entry for 0x3DA1

Rick,
The new release clears up the "COM PORT 10" problem on my Toshiba. I'm up and running. Thanks for all your hard work.

Open up ze new UT. Click on Systems then 782D Fleetnet Zone 1. On the Info tab go down to the SID area and put in 947. Then clock the Download this system icon and put in my username and password. And thats it.

What am i missing/not doing?

I got that to work but I didn't put in the 782d or Fleetnet titles - just created a blank system.

Keep in mind that IIRC UT doesn't download site/freq data for Motorola trunks - just the ones that need LCNs like EDACS systems. Rick gave me the reason why, ages ago - I've forgotten now.

On my system, with a several-MBps internet connection, if you wait a few seconds (no more than 10) after entering your un/pw and clicking the OK/connect/whatever button, either the info on the title bar of the system will change, identifying that the system has been downloaded, or a window will pop up with changes you have to approve or reject (if you already have data in the system in your UT database). The stuff on the face of the actual window doesn't seem to change until you refresh the window or click on the affected field.

Still nothing.
Does it matter what type of account you have on here? Perhaps thats the problem. Like with the 396 softweare. Have to be a paid member to get them slick options

Maybe I missed something but is there anyway to transfer all my data from Unitrunker 0.1.0.57 to this version of Unitrunker?

Will UniT work with USB input?

Need help. My laptop has no serial input. I bought a DB9 to USB cable and installed the driver for Vista. I am using discriminator output into a data slicer but can't get the computer to see the signal. Will Uni work with a USB input? Any ideas?

TIA

UniTrunker does NOT work with Data Slicers. Feed your Discriminator output directly into the SoundCard, either Mic In or Line In.

When I first fired up this version, a great comma delimited log file was generated. A sample shown below:

20080730181527,1,Call,I,17304,G,272,717,Dig

This is exactly what I need for the analysis I want to do. Now, I can not make the program generate such a file. Does anybody know where this file is selected or how to turn it on. Both of the "Logging" blocks are checked in the "Receiver" window.

EDIT....

Never mind, I found it! On the "site" window, Info tab ..History Log box.......

I have noticed Unitrunker is creating a ton of empty folders in the directory where it is running. The folders have names like, S00000070 or S0000011D. I now have about 200+ of these folders. They do seem sequintial but what use is an empty folder. Can I delete these empty folders?

I also notice that each time Unitrunker is shut down, it creates a new file in the form of Unitrunker.xml.19 or Unitrunker.xml.20 I now have about 40 of these files. Is the latest one the only one that is used and can the earlier versions of these files be deleted?

Thanks.

Voice Following w/BC780XLT

Anyone had any luck getting a BC780XLT(as second rcver) to voice follow?? Used to work with previous versions. Not implemented on this version yet?

Tracking systems great however!

Setting COMM Port

I need to set the program to Comm port 8 or 9. These two don't show in the program. How do I go about setting the program to one of these ports?

I get the S00000070,S0000011D, Unitrunker.xml.19 folders and I have no idea what there for so I delete them and nothing changes so I guess I don't need them.

Voice following isn't quite done but is progressing.

As rdale suggests - you need to fill in the control channel frequency. The program will search your data file for an existing site that matches (same site number and control channel frequency) and ditch the "limbo" site. EDACS does not have strong identity so this is the only way I've found for the program to accurately match previously logged data with a new control channel decoding session. You'll have to do this extra step each time you start decoding a new EDACS system.

There's a similar issue with decoding / ID'ing LTR and - to a lesser extent - MPT1327.

Rick, is this behavior supposed to function with MPT1327 as well (entering the CC and getting the "adhoc" system to disappear, with UT picking up the existing system)? I did as described above - got UT receiving the signal to an 'adhoc' system, added a channel (since none was put on the "Calls" screen), entered ch#389 and freq 424.8625 in site 0, and let it run, but it never picked up the existing system with those same properties. ("Never" being "I let it run about 2 minutes like that".)

When I load up the new version, I try to import the system I have saved but I can't find the file to import the system info I have saved..
