p25

I am putting a Caledon scan list together for somebody and I cannot seem to find the dispatch talk groups for Caledon's Station dispatch. I was able to Program OPS 5, TAC 8 & 9 but OPS 5 does not dispatch any calls even for Brampton. I rarely hear them page because they have the dispatch setup...

Howdy, I'm a newbie to SDR, and I'm trying monitor Montgomery TX's P25 system using SDR trunk and two RTL-SDR's. I am getting nothing. No events, no messages, nothing. Seems like I'm getting a signal on both dongles, and the freqs programmed in come directly from radio reference. Anybody know...

Alright folks... I've got a few doozies here. I'm on the hunt for an inexpensive VHF radio. Found an XTS2000 on eBay that I really like, however I'm having some hesitations about pulling the trigger -- As far as programming it, that is. I cannot find the programming software for it anywhere...

So I noticed something which may be a programming error ? when on a p25 conventional system, while receiving a transmission the top Display-only shows two letters “ID”. Once they unkey it alternates between ID and the actual numbers for a few seconds. Is there a way to remove this alternative...

Hi, I just bought a Uniden Bearcat BC996P2 for my car with a nice sized antenna I put on the back of my car. I am able to to hear Toronto EMS & Fire TAC channels just fine, however when it comes to dispatch, even if I am sitting in one spot it more likely then not just show me "Finding Cntrl...

I'll preface this by saying I'm not 100% confident in my understanding of trunked systems and how to program them, so if I'm missing something or making any mistakes please educate me. I'm trying to program a statewide P25 system into my scanner. Specifically, the Montana Public Safety...

Just a heads up for anyone that has been waiting for the Cambria P25 network (which will be part of the multi-county ICORRS), it's now looking that it's probably going to be a simulcast system for the most part, 13 of the 16 towers will be sharing a main frequency it appears. So if you're...

Hello all. I've recently had time to get back into SDR after a few years and I'm having some issues with my new tuners and software. The SDR setup consists of a Windows 8.1 workstation with two tuners, the first a Nooelec NESDR v4 RTL-SDR (820T) and another NESDR XTR (E1000). The first time I...

Hello All, Got a TRX-1 and got the P25 Phase 1 System I am using loaded in. Sounds good but often during broadcasts it drops for a fraction of a second and comes back in. I have squelch turned all the way to the left. Signal shows full strength... In EZ-SCAN - Should I adjust anything like...

The scanners I use to Gather News Video

Hi all, Does anyone know the functional difference between these two comparators? I've looked at their spec sheets and they both seem to be almost identical, aside from the 9600 being a few years newer and having a slightly lower delay. I also noticed that the 3000 is programmed with RSS...

Hi guys, I have had my quantar up and running for some time now doing P25, and I'd like to expand its range by adding some receivers and a comparator to do voting. Of course, I don't intend to get leased lines between everything so I've been doing some reading and I want to make sure I have...

I have been building a mobile scanner (based on a Raspberry Pi 3, RTL-SDR and a touch screen) for the past year to monitor P25 trunk communications using OP25 (Boatbod). The used script is multi_rx.py and it works flawlessly around LSM. I modified the web interface so that it fits on a 3.5"...

I know primary comms are on the trunked system now. Although the licences are showing active for the Camden County police and sheriff 500mhz analog conventional, they seem to be depreciated. I had a dual watch handheld trying to pick them up listening to a couple frequencies of each for a while...

I have an 800MHz P25 Simulcast site nearby and I was deciding if a directional antenna would be a good idea for my stationary scanner. It would make sense for improving Control Channel and Alternate Control Channel's signal, but if I'm not mistaken, the P25 radios don't talk back through the...

Howdy All, I recently took over Development for Trunk Player and I am happy to announce myself (@maxwellDPS) and @NebraskaCoder are bringing life back to the project! Development is in progress This will be a complete rewrite of Trunk Player, all from scratch! The new version will be all API...

I'm listening a simulcast trunked system (SERAM, P25 Phase II) and for some reason the G4 is not displaying Radio IDs when picking up talkgroups from a patch. It does display Radio IDs from regular talkgroups (non-patched) even in Phase II. Other scanners like a Uniden 436HP and OP25 do pickup...

Is it possible to unmute p25 encryption on a 996P2 like what you have with the GRE scanners, where its not decoding the audio, but you can still hear the garbled sound? Id like to have that enabled so i can still tell if my local PD is busy, etc

Basic question, but how can I identify phase I vs phase II on the DB?

Howdy Howdy! I'm having a little bit of an issue with listening in to LAPD on the BCD436HP. When listening to their audio (from the latest database), I hear the dispatch/tac audio clearly, except that the last half-second of the transmission always seems to be cut off. I've tried different...
