    Very good video, but I figured out something important, in the plugin config page, you have to choose, audio input and output devices, that are listed in the terminal when you start dsd. input has to be virtual cable, and output speakers or headphones if you will, but to make it work you have to click on "create command line" and restart DSD with the correct command line, you then can check the terminal page if the initializes devices are correct. Also, in the plugin side panel "Audio Device" can be speakers, so you can check "Enable Aux Output" just to monitor the encrypted audio. The volume on the top of the page is very important, if you set it low will decode nothing, and if too high will compress and distort and you will get a lot of erros in the terminal, its optimal when the sound wave is regular and you are not getting errors.

    Here's a tip, if you're not getting any waveform in your DSD+ Source Audio window. Open Windows control panel -> sound -> recording, select the VB Audio cable and make sure it isn't muted under the levels tab.

    Absolutely one of the top instructional videos I have ever watched. All the steps clearly and concisely stated. So I decided to subscribe. You could add an additional hint - if the input or output device is not correctly initialized you can specify the device numbers on the DSD input/output configuration panel. I had to do that as I have 7 VAC's and several output devices defined and my system was confused. Thank you from KE7KRF

      OK, so yes, the configuration panel displayed at 7:06 ... And, I have the devices selected exactly as techMinds does.
      (This can be seen at 9:01 in this video.)
      His selected audio input device = #2 Cable Output - VB audio Virtual...initialized
      His selected audio output device = #1 Realtek Speakers high def... initialized
      When I run the software, mine is exactly like this, but... still nothing.
      As write this, I am still trying to check and see if its a matter of no voice transmissions are occuring, thus I'm hearing no audio.
      Another RUclips comment put it this way "ah okay. It works now. If you hear silence then its simply not decoding. There is NO STATIC. Its either full speech or dead silence."
      But, as for me, I am just getting "dead silence" at the moment.
      I'm wondering what the problem is.

    Some of you have experienced similar problems that I encountered. Requires some tinkering and a little patience. I have now tested with Win 7 and 10 so note the following;
    1. DSD+ decoding and oscillating but no actual sound; check your system sound settings > Playback = speakers set as default device (Properties > Levels should not be muted). Recording = CABLE output set as default device (Properties > Listen > tick "listen to this device, Playback should be default playback device", Levels should not be muted).
    2. SDR issue; Techminds instructs you to select "Windows direct sound Cable input VB input virtual cable" for BOTH the Audio OUTPUT option and DSD interface Audio device. I have tried with the MME options and it still appears to work too. Ensure you tick "enable audio output" in the DSD interface section.
    3. When configuring DSD interface, you need to make sure you are piping the audio in & out to the correct places. When you click configure, this will confirm which options are going to be used. When you click start DSD, some pop up boxes appear - look at the largest pop up and this will present all the corresponding audio options available in 3 sections, fist is audio input options, then audio output options and lastly what you have set it to. If this is piped incorrectly then it will not work.
    4. You need a nice strong connection/aerial etc for you to hear the sound which needs to be converted from digital to analogue.
    5. At first you may not even know what you're looking for i.e. sound and waterfall, suggest you head over to the RTL website and it will give you some examples as well as Techminds vids!

      @@classichank60 Same here. The web site that hosts the '"DSD Interface" plugin is long gone. I had to go back to a very early version (1416) of Sharp# to search for the plugin DLLs and Magic Line script needed. Later installs give the option to install more plugins and practically all of them were hosted at the now defunct web site. At least I still had "Simple DMR" and "Simple APCO" from a year and a half ago when I bought my 1st SDR dongle. One thing for certain, Sharp does not age well.

    Hi. I love what you do, I really do. Amazing channel. Its been 3 years since I last posted about setting up DSD, now I'm retired and have my FL (M7DKU). I've even now managed to set up my RTL SDR Dongle but for the love of god, do you think I'm able to set up DSD on my laptop? No. No I am not!! LOL. This attempt, 3 years since my last attempt....still unable to set it up after the VB cable turned ALL laptop sound off so I couldn't follow your tutorial so I have swallowed something hard and jagged, realised this level of PC work is not for me so I am following one of your other films about making an Lband antenna. Half completed, I'm better with making actual things rather than PC virtual stuff. I don't think I'm going to try this again for fear of a stroke. NO reflection on your really great work, just beyond my capability. Thanks for all you do. 73, Paul.

    Everyone read this. If you minimize the windows for dsd plus to bottom of screen it will increase you processing power for your cpu. This will make the decoder work better. Once set up properly you can minimize the sdr sharp to bottom of screen and dramatically increase processing power even more. If you go to task manager on windows and wait a couple of seconds you can see how much it increases your available processing power. You still have to get your bat file correct first so read the read me file for dsd plus and have gain in correct place. Hope this helps some people having problems with weaker computers.

    Have the setup running - so far only found some data channels. Did attempt to decode my digital Kenwood TK-3401D - but DSD+ does not appear to detect the signal at all. Are all digital PMR radios equal = that is - do they use the same encoding ?

    • @TechMindsOfficial
      @TechMindsOfficial  4 года назад

      I’m not sure if DSD can decode those. Best thing to do is locate a local DMR ham radio repeater and try and decode that. That will ensure your setup is working

    • @bodstrup
      @bodstrup 4 года назад

      Tech Minds : Found the answer. No. These Kenwoods uses AMBE+2 encoding - which - should be supported in a future release of DSD+. From my brief readings on the dPMR standard, it looks like manufacturers can use their own chosen codec’s - as long as they can fall back to a common set. Have not tested with a different brand of dPMR handset though.

    Funny, followed your video - installed using your very detailed guide - and found, that the version of SDR# I had downloaded - which included a number of plug-ins - already had DSP Plus installed :-). Now, unfortunately have to wait testing, as I am in a remote vacation location with little signals at all.
    One request - I found that my just purchased HackRf performed really badly, hardly getting any signals - that was until I was holding the short whip antenna in my hand, touching the metal ground. How about an RTL SDR antenna episode - how to optimize indoor/mobile antennas for reception ?

Totally new to this whole thing, I thought the hardware I already have (RTL2832U+R820T2 TCXO 0.5ppm) is my 'receiver', or do I need an external RX radio to use this stuff with? Again, I'm new to this, it initially looked interesting, but I just keep hitting all these roadblocks to getting the thing to work...I'm certain it's either something I'm doing wrong, or not doing at all?

    Hi Matt, need some help please! I'm not sure if I have configured something incorrectly but when I scan through various frequency ranges the source audio works fine, the DSD event log opens up, DSD+ command line opens but it is not decoding anything (unlike your screen where there is a constant decoding feed). Any ideas on what might be going wrong? As my DSD source audio is working I was thinking it might be something simple like not being tuned into a digital frequency but I've scanned across the whole range and no joy as yet. Any help appreciated! TY

    I really appreciate your videos. I am new to Ham Radio. I have had great success with listening to analog signals 2 meter and 70cm. I was able to get this working with your excellent instructions without errors but I can't hear any audio. If I shut DSD off and go to a broadcast FM station it works just fine if I switch the audio settings back to default. I see the peaks pop up so I dial over to them and there is nothing coming out of the speakers. It might be that I am still using the original antenna. Do you recommend an antenna for 7cm and 2 meter to use with my NooElec dongle? I have the SO239 adapters for my dongle.
    Thanks
    Kevin

      With DSD running you wont hear anything until it starts to decode a digital signal. There is no white noise with digital through DSD. If you see the DOS window where DSD is running start scrolling up and decoding digitial, and you still have no audio out put, then you will need to check the output setting within the DSD plugin option on SDR Sharp.

    • @alynicholls3230
      @alynicholls3230 5 лет назад

      that should be even easier, you shouldn't need vb cable too, plug your scanner into the line in skt on your sound card or motherboard whichever you use, if there is no aux in use the mic in skt BUT turn down the volume until it does not distort.
      right set the scanner playing anything that you can hear, open the speaker icon inn the right hand corner of your desktop with a right click, click on recording devices open microphone and check its enabled, once you have the audio coming in just tell dsd to listen on the mic line, and output on the pc speakers, then try giving it some signals and see if it will decode them.
      vb cable just connects two programs together, so if you have a scanner you dont need sdr# you just need your scanners audio going into your pc sound device, listen on mic playback on speakers, set the freq with the scanner, it should be a lot easier to get decoding with an actual scanner.

    My DSD Plus simply won't work. It does start but the inputs are wrong even though I followed every instruction. All files in the correct folders and setting exactly the same as you show, but for some reason DSD Plus is using my microphone as the main input and not VB Cable even though VB Cable is selected in the audio and dsd dropdown menu. When I disable the microphone, DSD fails and will not run. Any idea what to change or to do differently?

    In your opinion what is one of the better SDR units for reception of DMR,Dstar, and P25. I have one of the cheap $20 RTL sticks (ER400) and they do work but I find the sensitivity obviously will be poor. I also found digital reception best is DMR, but Dstar and P25 are awful with lots of drop outs. DMR is OK but still not as good as a cheap $54 Baofeng DM-1801.
    I was hoping for better P25 reception for my local police but not to good with DSDplus.

      Do you use the Fastlane edition of DSD+? It’s far superior at decoding than the free version. If you want a cheap SDR dongle that good quality, get a NooElec NESdr. If you want something a bit more pokey look at SDRPlay or Airspy products :)
