OTA Index? - DSD+FL

[DeaconHarry16]

Setting up site loader for P25 system
Adding system frequencies to DSD+FL Frequency file...
Tried everything I could think of and searched everywhere...still get invalid or missing OTA Index message.
What is a valid OTA index for a P25 system? Where do I find it?
Thanks

Conventional or trunked P25?

Don't add trunked P25 channels to the .frequencies file; they're auto-stored in the .P25data file.

[Edit]Assuming you're talking about adding P25 trunking sites to the P25.siteLoader file:
I don't know what the "OTA Index" is, but perhaps you can share what's in your file (narrow it down to the lines causing the problem). There's not much to it.

;   trunked network entries:
;
;     protocol, networkID, 0, "network name"
;
;
;   trunked site entries:
;
;     protocol, networkID, siteNumber, "site name"

Example: DOD/NSWC Corona:
WACN: BEE00 (hex)
System: 14C (hex)
RFSS: 5 (decimal)
Site ID: 23 (decimal)

P25, BEE00.14C, 0, "US DoD"
P25, BEE00.14C, 5.23, "NSWC Corona"

To add another site to the existing BEE00.14C network, you might add:

P25, BEE00.14C, 5.6, "MCBCP Elsinore"

Note that the frequencies are in DSDPlus.P25data:

; frequency data for P25 trunked sites has to be present in the DSDPlus.P25data file;
;  manually tune to P25 control channels to auto-build the DSDPlus.P25data file

Don't add trunked P25 channels to the .frequencies file; they're auto-stored in the .P25data file.

So the site loader picks up the frequencies from the P25 data file without entering them in the frequencies file?
Actually I copied and pasted the frequencies from the P25 file to the freq. file
Actually I found my problem as I transposed the entry sequence and got the site # in the OTA column and vice versa...
Still curious what the OTA frequency index is? Kind of like LCNs maybe...
Thanks for the tip, learning something new every day

Pointless/counterproductive.

They're the channel number values that are displayed in the channel window.
