p25

We are attempting to (finally, after years of work) connect our P25 network and are running into some issues. Previous project manager recently retired, and almost everyone who first started the work has since moved on from our location. Current setup: 5 x APX7500s (four of them waiting for...

Good Afternoon, everyone. I would like to explore the possibility of setting up either a private or public P25 talk group hosted on my own server/platform. The motivation behind this is that using the currently hosted talk groups via my hotspot has been quite frustrating due to frequent...

Summary: I re-installed Windows on one of my two main scanning machines, and so I also installed a newer version of SDRTrunk - Version 0.6.1-Beta-3. I found myself hearing traffic for a minute or two, sometimes 5, and then nothing. Silence. Meanwhile, in the other room I could hear traffic on...

Hi there, I have a Motorola XTS 3000 Version 3 P25 radio that I want to use with a hotspot. I have programmed the radio with my DMR ID in the Astro section of the codeplug. I have programmed several talkgroups/reflectors into the radio. I am running WPSD on the hotspot. My problem is the hotspot...

Alright this has been a problem for awhile i have tried programming every way you can i have used OFT and conventional but i get the same results. HERE is the system and on dsdplus there is a data signal on all the channels it will go away at times but stays constant but when the my 536HP or...

I have installed op25 but I get a no attribute “get gain names” error… I was I guess completely unaware that op25 doesn’t have a gui. What programs can decode p25 phase 2 that can run on a raspberry pi 3 that have a easy to navigate gui? Thank you! Please help

Good evening Kenwood gurus. I have two TK-5810 radios, hardware version 3, and I'm trying to get GPS position reports working in P25 conventional. One radio is set up as the base station. It outputs all six GPS phrases (GPGGA GPGLL etc.) to the COM port, and in analog/fleetsync operation, the...

Hi! I just got a 6000 to do monitor trunking. Since there is a VHF patch for Glenview and Skokie Fire, since they are on STARCOM, is there a RED patch to STARCOM? Thanks!

On January 6, 2025 dispatchers of Allen County fire departments (those outside the city of Fort Wayne) disabled a bridge between their 800 MHz P25 system and VHF FM transmitters on 154.01 MHz. Traffic that was previously audible on 154.01 MHz FM is now available only on the county's 800 MHz P25...

Hello starting my journey into p25 scanning for listening to vic cfa transmissions. Background retired radio tech 30yrs + , recently started reading on basic p25 info. I am hoping to reconfigure some 10yo surplus motorola p25 vhf tranceivers for listen only in my area. I don't have the...

I am considering buying a scanning radio but I would like for it to be as cheap as possible and durable. It needs to scan Airband as well as APCO p25 phase 2 frequencies, specifically Alabamas AIRS system. I like the BC125AT. I also like the BCD325P2. I don’t know if the frequencies I am trying...

The KrakenSDR is a phase-coherent SDR five RTL-SDRs inside. This allows for RF Direction Finding. I heard people say that accuracy under worst conditions is 20-50m. But not knowing what they mean by "worst conditions", I thought of something I think is nearly impossible, but would be a very...

Hello everyone, I am looking for someone with experience or advice on building/configuring a VHF <-> 700/800 P25 repeater system. My fire department is in a tough position with failing radios and Starcom P25 nearly completed but still 8+ months out. We are currently using a mixture of MACOM...

Hey all. What is the most inexpensive radio that is p25 capable?

Hello. I am looking to aquire an nx-5200 to use as a ham radio and to scan my county fire frequency’s. They use a p25 phase 2 ICORRS system. I currently have a Uniden sds100 and it works just fine with the system. I confirmed that some agency’s in the counties use 5200s but they said they are...

Forum users regularly speak to which subsite has the simulcast site controller (prime site), or which site has the ZC (master site / zone core) in an Astro25 trunked system. Are these assertions based on something in the FCC license that I'm not picking up on?

Hello all you radio junkies! Lol Ive had a fair share of scanners in the past from when i was in my teens till now. I love to listen to whats going on around me. Then awhile back everything went encrypted, but i just recently discovered my area has fire rescue back on the scanner radio app so...

Just for the record, which scanners can receive Simulcast and actually decode it? I have an SDS200 but I'm looking towards a P25 P2 Simulcast handheld.

Hello. I am hoping to set up a portable standalone repeater for some digital modes with MMDVM and some old mobile radios, something I know has been done many times. However, I do not want it to be networked for ease of setup and some other reasons. It will be mainly used temporarily at events...

What would be the CHEAPEST scanner besides a rtl-sdr dongle could get by with to listen to everything in my area? Thanks a lot. My Area My Area
