    OP25 VirtualBox Project - Run OP25 on Windows 7

    Works like a champ, thanks! CPU usage down to 10% from 30% with the new program. I'm testing with pulse turned on, as I think that is the only way I can adjust the volume. I'm running this on a dedicated laptop, not through a VM.

    Hawai'i County Radio System Upgrade

    Hmmm, if LNK/DAT is only periodically popping up, it sounds like it is struggling to lock onto the control channel. If I recall correctly when I had my BCD436, the LNK/DAT would show constantly even when there was no voice, Then when there was voice traffic, it would show PT0 or PT1. Is...

    New G5 owner ???

    I suspect you have an issue with your HEX versus DEC entries for the system/site. I believe for System ID and WACN, the entries on the RR page are already in HEX, so you would enter those as-is. For the RFSS ID and SITE ID, the values in the () on the RR page are the HEX values, so you would...

    For TGID's yes, but System ID's, WACN ID's, Site ID's need to be HEX.

    Hawai'i County Radio System Upgrade

    Sounds like it should be working, here are some suggestions to try in the Sentinel software: 1.Find the system in the full USA database and APPEND to a new favorites list. 2. Edit the new favorites list and set all other sites to AVOID except for the Kailua site, assuming that is indeed the...

    Horry County SC

    Ok, thanks for the clarification. I saw all 3 of the licenses listed on the RR page for the new system, so assumed they were all related to that system. Looking forward to seeing what I can pick up when I get there next month.

    Looks like the Burgess tower is part of WNQK719. I'll be interested to know if that tower is up and running, as I'll be heading to that area next month. https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?fccCallsign=WNQK719

    Thanks, boatbod, I am seeing exactly what you described. Wasn't sure if it was ok to discuss here, but you saved me from typing it all out. :)

    Hawai'i County Radio System Upgrade

    I'm seeing that also, but I occasionally still see 6505 being used for dispatch. Then again, it seems like each call is patched in some manner based on what I'm seeing in Pro96Com (6502 --> 6505 in some cases). There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, but I agree they are definitely doing...

    OP25 VirtualBox Project - Run OP25 on Windows 7

    Can this thread be used to discuss the new rx.py application from the max branch? I'm been reading through the README and trying it out, but having some issues. Let me know if ok to discuss here or if there is a preferred location. Thanks.

    Movies involving monitoring

    Out for Justice (1991, Steven Segal). The "bad guy" has a local chop shop get him a Buick Grand National GNX and they install a Pro2025 scanner in it. I remember at the time I had the same scanner, and I wanted one of those Grand Nationals so bad!

    Horry County SC

    I see, ok, thank you for the explanation. I didn't realize that if you assign a 2-Tone in addition to a P25 Trunking TGID to a particular Group ID it would recognize the 2-Tone setting when assigning a TGID to a knob position under "Trunking TG-Scan". I didn't see any option to select the...

    Horry County SC

    This last sentence caught my attention, are you saying that the G4 and G5 is able to decode tones on a P25 trunking talk group, TGID 6091 in the case of Horry County? I had thought it could only decode tones on a conventional frequency. I'll be in the area in a couple of months and will be...

    Whistler scanners unable to track new VHF P2 system

    Exactly... I'm not saying everything they do is perfect, but I can say that when I submitted my bug report I was polite and just presented the facts. Within 1 week, engineering provided me with test firmware that resolved the issue, which I expressed my appreciation. I'm sure if I was snotty in...

    Whistler scanners unable to track new VHF P2 system

    They indicated to me that the fix they were working with me on will make it into the next firmware update, although not sure if that is only for the TRX-1 or for all the phase 2 models. I'm sure your snotty response about "$500 glorified conventional scanners" will make them push it right to...

    G5 what if question

    Does anyone know if there is a link to download the actual user guide for the G5? I see plenty of links to PPS programming resources and such, but nothing for the user guide for the radio itself.

    Ahh, good to know. Thank!

    G5 what if question

    I though Monitor Mode only allows you to choose a conventional frequency and not a P25 protocol? But I think you can setup a wildcard talk group using FFFF (hex) and assign that to a P25 trunking scan position, right? I may be totally wrong as I've only been playing with PPS for a few days and...

    You're right, I think it was from Oct 2016 so it may already have that installed. Thanks!
