what are the differences other than it now shows CC as DCC? there must be more changes under the hood.

Changes from DSD+ 1.074 to DSD+ 1.101
-------------------------------------


DSD+: Fixed AMBE tone frame audio generation.


FMA: Added Airspy-compatible FMP (FMPA.exe)


DSD+: Significant reduction in CPU usage when monitoring busy control channels.
Improvement will be most noticeable on low power processors.


DSD+: Detection and decoding of Hytera Extended Pseudo Trunk (XPT) systems.


DSD+: The DSD+ -i command line parameter can contain an IPV4 address;
this lets DSD+ connect to a copy of FMP that is running on a different
PC in your local network or on the Internet

Example: DSDPlus -i192.168.1.150:20001


DSD+: NEXEDGE radio alias editing

DSD+ now marks auto-generated NEXEDGE radio aliases in the DSDPlus.radios
file by prepending an asterisk like so:

NEXEDGE, ... yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm, *"aliastext"

If you edit a NEXEDGE alias, you must remove the asterisk; this tells
DSD+ that the new alias text is NOT auto-generated and DSD+ will not
replace it with OTA alias text


FP: FMP command line processing

The FMP command line format has been modified and is now similar to
the DSD+ command line. A summary is listed here:

FMP rev 1.4t

Usage:
FMP [options] Normal operation
FMP -h Show help

Options:
-i<num> RTL SDR device number (1-255) [-i1]
-o<num> Output audio device (1-255) [-o1]
-o<port> Output audio TCP port (256-65535)
-P<num> PPM value (-999.9-999.9) [-P0.0]
-g<num> RF gain (dB) [max]
-f<MHz> Initial tuned frequency [-f99.9]
-b<kHz> Initial filter bandwidth (4, 7, 9.5, 12.5) [-b7]
-z<num> Show zoomed spectrum (0-1) [-z1]
-e<num> Enable/disable economy mode (0-1) [-e1]
-n<num> Select noise filter (0-2) [-n0]
-v<num> Set volume level (0-500) [-v100]
-s<num> Enable/disable scanner mode (0-1) [-s0]
-wsl<v>.<h> Spectrum window location [-wsl50.50]
-_<num> Minimize windows at startup; bitmapped
-rv Role is trunk voice channel monitor

-rv puts FMP into voice following mode (same as pressing 'V' in FMP)

Any shortcuts or batch files that run FMP will have to be modified
to match the new command line format.


DSD+: Less processor loading (probably only noticeable on very slow processors)


DSD+: Much faster groups/radios files loading/saving


DSD+: Editing existing radio aliases

In previous versions of DSD+, editing of pre-existing radio aliases
can not be done with an external text editor while DSD+ is running;
only radio records with no alias text can be edited

With DSD+ 1.092, existing radio alias text can be edited in an
external text editor while DSD+ is running; DSD+ will load and display
any updated radio aliases


DSD+: A DSDPlus.radios file corruption bug has been fixed


DSD+: A command line option to add system details to event log entries has been added

-E Add NAC/RAN/DCC/RAS data to event log file entries


DSD+: Decoding of more DMR and TIII messages has been added


DSD+: A symbol recovery bug has been fixed


DSD+: Con+ handling has been modified; previous versions of DSD+ would create
"DMR" entries in the DSDPlus.groups and DSDPlus.radios files for traffic
on monitored voice channels; DSD+ 1.090 creates "Con+" entries; if you
have "DMR" entries with nonzero NID fields, you should either bulk delete
them or change their protocol string from "DMR" to "Con+"; Notepad has a
simple search/replace function that can be used to do this


DSD+: A command line option to minimize windows at startup has been added

-_<num> Minimize selected windows at startup (bitmapped, 0-15) [-_0]

value window

1 console
2 source audio
4 channel activity
8 event log

sum values to minimize multiple windows


DSD+: Several high contrast display modes have been added

-H<num> High contrast mode (bitmapped, 0-63) [-H0]

two bits are used per graphical window; pressing 'H' in a window will
cycle it to the next display mode; pressing 'W' displays the current
-H<num> value in the event log window


DSD+: Control of AMBE and IMBE unvoiced audio levels has been added

-UA<num> AMBE unvoiced speech level (0-100) [-UA50]
-UI<num> IMBE unvoiced speech level (0-100) [-UI50]

pressing 'A'/'a'/'I'/'i' will also adjust the levels;
lower levels may reduce the "underwater" sound of some comms


DSD+: DSD+ can get its raw audio source from FMP via a TCP link instead of
via Virtual Audio Cable or VB-Cable

-i<TCPport> FMP TCP link port number (256-65535)

linking FMP to DSD+ via VAC or VBC is deprecated; please use the TCP
link feature instead; any port number between 10000 and 65000 should be fine


DSD+: DSD+ can record separate .wav files for each voice call

-P<wav|mp3> Also create per-call wav or mp3 files

the file names encode metadata:

time
duration
protocol
NID
site number
NAC/RAN/DCC/slot
call type (group/private)
target
source

note: per-call mp3 files are not supported at this time


FMP: A command line option to minimize windows at startup has been added

-_<num> Minimize selected windows at startup (bitmapped, 0-3) [-_0]

value window

1 console
2 spectrum display
