SERVER / TOOLS / LOAD-RRDB

load-rrdb will import downloaded CSV file of all talkgroups for trunked system to server/config.json file.

Usage

The first two parameters are mandatory as opposed to the third one which is optional. If not specified, the default output file is server/config.json.

If the output file exists, it's content will be used to create a new one and the old one will be renamed with a .bak as its suffix.

$ ./server/tools/load-rrdb -h
USAGE: load-rrdb <system_id> <input_tg_csv> [output_config_json]

Remember to restart your Rdio Scanner instance when server/config.json is modified.

Special note

Rdio Scanner was built from the ground up with the idea of a beautiful and functional interface that looks like old school police scanners.

Importing too many talkgroups will make the client part almost unusable on mobile devices or slow desktops. Just imagine having over 1000 butons on the SELECT TG panel.

The solution for these large systems would be to have an instance of Rdio Scanner just to ingest audio calls, then to define downstreams to other instances of Rdio Scanner where each one would have systems/talkgroups for a simple county/city/whatever... You could also have an instance with all the priority channels on it. The goal here is to have a reasonable amount of talkgroups per instance.
