Still looks like you have not started (playing) SDR#.
Does your dongle work with SDR#. (without starting the demodulator)

yes the dongle work fine without starting the demodulator. but if I started SDR# and check demodulator, SDR# close.

Then that would indicated that 2 possible things:
  • MS .NET and/or V++ run-times are not installed.
  • Using incorrect version of libtetradec.dll (but most of the time, error is because of above)

You generally need to get these installed 1st:
"Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 (Offline Installer)"
"Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 (Offline Installer)"
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable"
- If your Windows is 64 bit, install both 32/64 bit versions of this.
- If your Windows is 32 bit, install only the 32 bit version of this.

Usually "libtetradec.dll" that comes with the "SDRSharp.Tetra.dll" (in zip) should be OK.

What version of the TETRA plug-in you using? (where from)

NOTE: Not sure about SDR# v1700. I have only tested to 1671 with the versions of the plug-in I have created.

I've follow meticulously your setup guide and install .NET and Visual C++

I'm using your latest release for the TETRA plug-in.

I've also test with version 1574 but same result.

thank you for your effort !

I don't think the plug-in ever work on the SDR# 15xx versions, only 1637+.
Most of my testing is base around SDR# v1671. If you have that version then try with that. Best of luck.

My last suggestion
RTL-SDR device controller menu
Try set the Sample Rate to 1.92 MSPS

Is the TETRA_mnc.txt file actually used anywhere? Is it supposed to display the MNC system name next to the MCC text to the right of the Tools menu? Or is it not implemented yet? It would be nice if it could display the MCC-MNC-LA names in that same place.

Hello, I need help. There is an error when starting TTT. My system is Windows 10, version TTT 1.07.0

Yes, but only as a tooltip in the "Call details" panel in TTT where MNC:xxx LA:xxx is shown. (Hover mouse over it)
It is displayed as "mnc_label [la_label]"

Is it supposed to display the MNC system name next to the MCC text to the right of the Tools menu? Or is it not implemented yet?

No, only MCC displayed in menu.

It would be nice if it could display the MCC-MNC-LA names in that same place.

Ask and you shall receive.

Next version of TTT will display in menu bar either:
  • MCC: 123 MNC: 4 LA: 5
  • MCC: 123 "YourCountry_label" MNC: 4 "CompanyNetwork_label" LA: 5 "Location_label"
Or a mixture of both
Will only show 1st one if using compact mode. With tooltip as described above, due to limited space.

And the event log will show (on frequency change) either:
  • 10/01/2019 10:18:49 AM - MCC:123 [-] MNC:4 [-] LA:5 [-]
  • 10/01/2019 10:18:49 AM - MCC:123 [YourCountry_label] MNC:4 [CompanyNetwork_label] LA:5 [Location_label]

I get "click to end call" when I hover over "call" but nothing over MNC and LA, although the LA name turns up in the log. The description in the document had a different colouring and I though it migth be a future feature. Thanks for adding this as a permanent view.

Testing here the new version of tetra demodulator made available by TSSDR
It's working very well! But it's strange to hear using only the tetra demodulator after I've gotten used to TTT for so many months!
Obviously this plugin provided by TSSDR does not originally work with TTT.
Unless our French guru thewraith2008 do some magic to make it happen! :p

There's nothing wrong with TTT so no need to try and adapt it to the new tetra plugin, it's too much work for nothing.
Ian Wraith are as brittish as you can be, he's from Sheffield. I've followed him since 20 years back when he developed a perfect working MPT-1327 trunker solution. I got the decoder box and cables somewhere but I doubt I can find the software, if I haven't been clever and put a floppy disc inside the box.

Adapting the new TSSDR plug-in version would be a step backwards for TTT. I would have to remove many features of TTT to get it to work.
I have fixed/added things to the plug-in that TSSDR has not.

My fork of the plug-in was done because we all thought he was done with it.

I'm a fan of you two! Both the demodulator developer and the TTT developer! The only thing that annoys me a bit in the TTT is that if the demodulator and the shot are not visible all the time on the screen, the TTT does not work correctly. Other than that I really enjoy using the TTT
