    Enabling Channel announcement on XTS 5000r

    Hi I was wondering if I can enable Channel announcement on my XTS 5000r on Astro 25 Portable CPS 20.01.00. I have never actually programmed a radio in CPS before so is this something if I do wrong I can brick my radio or screw something up?

    P25 Phase 1 recommendations?

    Currently using a Pro-82 to listen to Fire Rescue (453 - 460 MHz). Considering getting a programmed HT1250 UHF to get better reception. I want something to listen to Miami-Dade Police.

    SDS100/SDS200: Getting started with Trunked Systems

    Howdy folks, and warm regards from the tropical Isle of Man! I'm getting back into the hobby, having recently upgraded my 3500XLT to an SDS-100E, and to say I'm finding it complicated would be an understatement. Can somebody please point me in the right direction for some high-level steps to...

    Unitrunker Is UniTrunker still popular? Alternatives?

    Hi there, I just entered the wonderful world of SDR and as such I am very new and inexperienced. I have watched a few videos online on how to decode P25 and similar trunked signals but these videos were fairly old. I have two RTL-SDR dongles (one RTL-SDR v3 and one NESDR Smart). I am using SDR#...

    I'm having a hell of a time trying to set up my RTL-SDR V3 to decode my local police departments, each one functions on a P25 conventional single frequency. I've seen too many videos on Youtube and have read countless hours of forums and articles on how to set this up to absolutely no avail...

    OP25 Capture P25 Voice Frames using OP25

    Hello. I'm doing research about P25 Common Air Interface and encryption protocols. I'm new to using OP25, so please be understandable if I'm wrong about something. When I turn the logging up to -v 10, I can see the codewords and all the other info, but it's all messy. I think I'm missing...

    Trouble with china pi-star

    Hi guys, I got myself one of those china pi-stars, though I know the china ones are generally frowned upon.

    Mystery 37xxx talk group on Cobb RRS

    I have seen this talkgroup for a while now and I have always wondered if anyone has an idea of who it could be, however, given that it's always encrypted its almost impossible to know but what's the harm in asking if anyone has a clue who that talkgroup could be.

    How far can I listen?

    I’m getting started with using SDRtrunk and am fairly unfamiliar with how trunking scanning works. I work in three different services in Kansas and want to listen when there are events while off duty, and I know I can do that with a full fledged radio but is SDR capable of covering the whole...

    BCD996p2 picking up one site but not the other

    My BCD996p2 can not pick up the South site in the PG County System, however it can pick up the North site very well. Any reason why? At the best I can pick up a very distorted transmission on the South site very rarely. Am I simply too far away? I live right on the Montgomery County/PG County line.
