I came across this site...perhaps its well known I have no idea...but I thought it was neat..here it is.



antistatic.org - winmdcd

** Posted from the website itself **

My town police recently started using Motorola MDC-1200 for ANI (Automatic Numerical Identifiers). This sounds like a "chirp" at the beginning or end of a transmission. While scouring the Internet for information, I happened upon the Batlabs Forum, and found Matthew Kaufman's MDC-1200 Libraries. Using these libraries in Linux was a sinch. Windows, however, was slightly more difficult. WinMDCD is a Windows MDC Decoder. An encoder is not publically available, so please do not ask. The decoder will decode all single-packet op codes and arguments. Descriptions for known op/arg combinations are built in. If you know any that are not included, feel free to send them to me or post in the forum. This software uses the sound card input from the headphone jack of the scanner. A data slicer is not needed. A discriminator tap is also not needed, but would probably increase the level of detection. This application is released under the terms of the GNU public license. In accordance with GPL (3)(b), the source code is available upon special request. If you plan to use this software in a commercial environment, please contact me for special information.

That's been around for quite some time actually :)

Last I tried it I didn't have any success in making it work though.... but it may have just been something with my setup here.

I tried it w-a-y back when Montgomery Co, MD PD were still in the 490s. I had about a 50% success rate, but all it does is display the ID of the radio keying up... cool toy though.
