OP25 OP25 http console -- can it be set to display alpha tags instead of IDs ?

[mtindor]

In my OP25 http console it displays the talkgroup (decimal / hex). Just wonder what, if anything, can be done to make it display the alpha tag instead?

I have a trunk.tsv file set up, and I have proper path in to a "starkcounty.csv" file which basically just consists of TGID<TAB>ALPHATAG - one per line.

Absolutely! You can create a tag file to associate a specific TGID with a specific alpha tag. You specify (call) this tag file from inside of your trunk.tsv file.

Example: I call my tag file mpscs-tgids.tsv that I use with the boatbod version of op25.

The TGID in decimal value specified at the start of each line followed by the alpha tag text that must be separated with a tab character.
Lastly, you have an option to specify a priority to for each entry in your tag file. The priority is specified as an integer from 1 to 5 with
1 being the highest priority and 5 being the lowest. By default, each tag line will default to priority 3 if not specified. The priority integer must be separated with a tab character from the alpha tag text the same as the alpha tag is separated from the TGID.

Here is a partial listing (example) of my tag file, mpscs-tgids.tsv using the alpha tag data as published in RR.

1080 MSP CID - CID [State Police CentralSouth Region CID] 3
1081 MSP CID - CID [State Police CentralSouth Region CID] 3
1082 MSP CID - CID [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1083 MSP CID - CID [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1084 MSP CID - CID [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1085 MSP CID - CID [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1086 MSP CID - CID [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1087 MSP CID - CID [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1088 MSP CID - CID [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1089 BAYANET 3 - BAYANET 3 [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1090 MSP CID - CID [State Police ThumbTriCities Region CID] 3
1093 78P911 - Central 911 Police Dispatch [Shiawassee County 78 Law Enforcement] 3
1094 NCCTECH1 - NCC Technicians [MPSCS Technicians] 3
1097 TRAIN3 - Training Academy Driver Training 3 [State Police District 1 CentralSouth Region] 3

You'll find example trunk.tsv and tag files included in your ~/op25/op25/gr-op25_repeater/apps folder that you can use as a template.

Hi Bill,

That sounds very much like what I have set up.

starkcounty.tsv (id / alpha separated by a tab)
-----------------
40512 PORTAGE CO SHERIFF DISP
45000 CANTON TWP FIRE DISP
45004 CANTON TWP FIRE 2
45011 NORTH CANTON POLICE TAC 1
45015 N CANTON FIRE TAC 1
45018 SC76EMERG
45021 AMBULANCE ASSOCIATES 1

trunk.tsv (items separated by a tab)
----------
"MARCS Stark Co Simulcast" "774.88125" "0" "0x340" "CQPSK" "/home/pi/op25/op25/gr-op25_repeater/apps/starkcounty.tsv"

OP25 seems to make use of the starkcounty.tsv file, as I can see the talkgroups in the main console if I don't enable the web interface. But, once I enable the web interface, I don't see any talkgroup names (alpha tags) -- I only see TGIDs. And that is specifically what I'm asking about. Is there a way for us to display the alpha tags in the web interface ( -l http:###.###.###.###:#### ).

So on the web interface, what shows up next to "Talkgroup:"? Anything? Do the TGIDs show up next to "Group Addr:"?

Works fine for me. Just for grins, try taking the path out and just specify the filename (starkcounty.tsv). Shouldn't make a difference, but ....

Yes, the TGIDs show up (in Decimal and hex) -- no alphas. Ok i'll give it a try without a path.

Thanks!

Hmm, I removed the path and just left the name of the TSV file and the alpha tags seem to be showing up now. I am going to switch back to using the path and just watch and see if it was hitting on talkgroups that weren't in the tsv file or if it really wasn't working with the path in it. It definitely works without the path though. Thank you. I appreciate it.

I'm apparently an idiot. It works both with and without the path. I guess I must have just been seeing a lot of talkgroups that I didn't have in the tsv file, and thus they were showing only the TGIDs.

Thanks again.

Glad it's working for you. It didn't make sense that the path would cause it to fail, but one never knows!
