Greetings

need your help. I like to monitor a P25 phase 1 system. I will pipe in the control channel with VB cable from my SDR and would like to follow the voice channels with my Airspy.

1. what batch file should i use for voice? Do i use DSDPlus, FMP or FMP24?
2. Or should i create a new one.

i'm trying to get teh Airspy to trunk and follow the conversation. I don't want to use dongles.

TIA

FMPA-VC.bat to run FMPA and your Airspy

VC.bat to run the VC copy of DSD+


What SDR are you using for the control channel side?

And are you using the SDR# DSD+ plugin? If so, it will screw things up for you.

You need two receivers to get audio. Whether one is Airspy is one and a dongle is the other or whether both are dongles doesn't matter.

I use both set ups with no problem, but you need two receivers. You also have to make sure you enter frequency correction if you use a dongle. Airspy should be dead on and need no tuning.

The latest public release FPMA is 2.7.

The latest Fast Lane version of FMPA is 2.9 (released with DSD+ 2.29), and the latest Fast Lane version of FMP24 is 2.19 (released with DSD+ 2.32)

If Vince is decoding a P25 control channel, he's using Fast Lane, so he should be using DSD+ 2.32 and FMPA 2.9, yes?

It's possible that he paid for a one year subscription to Fast Lane, and is using the last version he received before his subscription expired.

I'm just a stone's throw from you and listen to EBRCS SW. When I'm using SDR dongles with Unitrunker and DSD+, I have the following string in my *.bat file for DSD+: -f1 -mp

The strings makes a substantial difference in voice quality,

thanks,
but i do not have a problem using UT and DSDplus. That setup rocks all day for me. I want to use DSDPlus as a stand alone program with my AirSpy for the voice and my Ettus b200 for the control channel.

I'd think that if you can get the audio patched correctly, DSD+ should be able to decode the voice for that as well.

As an aside, did we have a face to face discussion in San Leandro about radios and scanning this past new years eve? Your RR screen name would seem to fit but we didn't discuss RR membership. I may be speaking to another Vince.

Due to the slower than desired release rate, no memberships have expired.
