BCD325P2 - raw data output - what did i miss?

[haimgil]

Hello,


I was trying to test the raw data output on the Uniden BCD325P2.

• I went to Settings > Set C-CH Output > On

• I connected an audio cable from the scanner to a PC, hoping it will recognize the data signals coming out from the audio socket, like it does with Whistler`s TRX-1 (IF Output), but it didn`t go well. Am i missing something here?


Thanks

The control channel data is decoded in the radio and sent out the USB port but in a serial port data format.
It's not quite the same as a discriminator output which is what the TRX models are basically doing.

You can use a program like Pro96com to decode this type of data for P25 systems. Not sure if it outputs anything if you tune a trunked NXDN or DMR control channel though. Plus, Pro96com is only for P25 systems.
