I would've thought the same, but I double (and triple) checked, and TG 121 is *definitely* on the CAP+ system. It isn't keyed up very often, but I heard things like "going on my lunch" and "finished my rounds" so I assumed it was some kind of security. The radio IDs were totally different from Bluesfest (in the 3000 range, whereas Bluesfest radios are 10000+).

I'll try to glean some more information about it and amend the database if I can. It would also be nice to find the frequency for timeslots 5/6.

Thanks everybody for bearing with me through this process. I don't have a ton of equipment on my hands, and I'm not super well-versed on the RadioReference conventions; I'm learning as I go. :)

You are out there and you are positively contributing, RadioReference can't ask for anything better! :)

451.500, 452.100, and 452.775

I do not know how accurate the Industry Canada data is, however, there are other frequencies listed for the address and owner where the we are hearing Bluesfest comms.

They are: 451.500, 452.100, and 452.775.

Have been listening to them, but no activity so far.

Voice following Capacity Plus Single Site system

I have DSD + and related files voice following on DMR systems 201 and 202 etc

However, on this site (https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=9468) voice following does not work. Does anyone know the correct network I.D. to use. I think this my be what is causing my problem.

First time I have tried voice following on a DMR Motorola Capacity Plus Single Site system.

Thanks, Mike

If you're using fast lane DSD+, you need two dongles and have to run two copies of FMP24 (CC and VC) that are TCP linked to two copies of DSD+ (CC and VC)

Use network ID 9468 (the RR DB page number)

Looks like the LCNs to use are 1, 3 and 7.

Sorry to take so long to reply, things became very busy this week.
I will give this a try using two SDR devices and see what the results are.

Everything works great when listening to sites 201, 202, etc.
This is the first time I have tried voice following on this type of system.

Thank you, Mike

No frequency data files found message

Everything is connecting nicely on TCP Port 20001
DSD is showing the usual CC data.

CC and voice following not yet functioning.

There is one error message "No frequency data files found", however the files are there.
They are the same ones used in earlier versions.
Using FMP 2.14 and DSD 2.39

Everything can't be on a single TCP port.

That's not an error message.

What files are you referring to?

Don't think DSD+ 2.39 is compatible with FMP.

Have you created the frequency records for the system? What do they look like?

Using DSD 2.29

OK, all working now.

Nice that I don't need the virtual audio cable anymore.

Using DSD 2.29

Thanks for the help

Looks like I stumbled upon the missing frequency for the Bell site that BluesFest uses.

The missing frequency seems to be 452.100 ► 5/6.

Anyone want to confirm this?

Funny that I cannot track this system, however, other CAP+ sites are tracking fine.
Very strange indeed!
