Getting Started With DMR and DSDPlus
Setting up FMP
Open the file FMP-VC.bat. You will see
several parameters. Modify this script for our
use by configuring the four parameters “–I”,
“–o”, “–P”, and “–f”. The “–i” parameter
followed by number (without a space)
indicates which SDR to use as an input. For
the SDR we can assume it is the only one on
your computer, so set it to “–i1”. The “–o”
parameter followed by a number is the output
audio device. The “–P” parameter is the
parts-per million (ppm) correction for your
SDR. The “–f” parameter is the frequency
in megahertz.
To determine the values for the other
parameters requires some knowledge about
your setup. Let’s first tackle the output
audio source. Each computer is different.
The best way to determine the audio output
is to observe what FMP sees. For this next
part, you might find it helpful to unplug the
SDR from the computer; if it is plugged in Figure 3 — Screen capture of FMP successfully running, controlling the SDR. Note the
command prompt window showing the correct ppm correction and frequency.
Setting up DSDPlus
Configure the DSDPlus script with
a similar process. Open the VC.bat file
and observe the various parameters. The
parameters that start with a “w”:
“–wsl”, “–wss”, “–wel”, and “–wcl”
control where the windows are launched.
You can set these as you like.
We must configure the audio as we did
before by launching DSDPlus from our open
command prompt. Unfortunately, there is Figure 4 — Running DSDPlus lists both input and output audio devices.
