Is there any decoding software available where I could receive a VHF (155.655) IDAS/NXDN system
via discriminator tap on a PRO-2006 (or other scanner - I have a 2006/456)? The system is a plain non-trunked non-encrypted vhf repeater.

There is no way to monitor IDAS or MotoTrbo unless you have that specific radio for that digital format. To receive your IDAS VHF frequency you would have to get the icom 3161DS and select digital for the mode and select 0 for the RAN.

Not entirely true. There is software to decode MotoTrbo from scanners with discrim tap.

There is a dedicated forum on here, just a few lines below the link for the Icom Land Mobile forum this thread is in. There is a lot of information about using DSD 1.3 software and a scanner with the tap to decode many different types of digital formats, such as convention NXDN, Mototrbo, P25, etc.

As long as its not encrypted, with a little work you should be able to decode the voice signal.


Icom does now have the F3101D which is quite a bit cheaper than the F3161D, if you wanted to save your self a lot of software head aches, and be able to listen to the frequency on the move.
