Broward County P25 (997.BEE00)

[APX8000]

Pemb Pines PD and Fire are both on the new P25 system. Make sure you have them enabled on your scan list as they appear as separate entries in the database. Im not that familiar with Sentinel but I know that has been a topic of discussion.

@APX8000, thank you for the reply. I did create a favorites list with only PPPD items but still no joy. I did figure out that the scanner will pick up all the digital items from Broward County Public Services that are Motorola Type II SmartZone as well as the digital items in Broward County Public Safety (P25) but anything analog on either site will not be picked up. Will post a question in the Uniden group since this sounds more like a programming issue and not a location based. Thanks again.

Are you programming these talk groups for the Pembroke Pines by BSO ?

Pembroke Pines Police Talkgroups

(25) Pembroke Pines

DEC	HEX	Mode	Alpha Tag	Description	Tag
12075	2f2b	T	BCP D15 Pembroke	Dispatch 15	Law Dispatch
12076	2f2c	T	BCP D15 Tac 1	Dispatch 15 Tactical 1 Bravo	Law Tac

12079	2f2f	T	BCP D15 Tac 4	Dispatch 15 Tactical 4 Echo	Law Tac

These talk groups are under the new BSO P25 P2 system.Create separate FL for the P25 and your conventional systems .

 

[AtlJohn]

I do have those groups programmed and they work but there is almost no traffic on there.

Monitor 12075. This is dispatch. Most of the others aren't used too much. 12078 is Detectives. Active especially at night.

@JANFINE, thank you! I wasnt sure if I had missed something with the programming or if it really was that quiet. What happened to all the TAC's, Talk's and other talkgroups? Its like everything just disappeared and never resurfaced. If you dont mind my asking, what scanner are you using? Any other issues you know of?

Hey i got a SDR and I'm trying to setup BSO however I'm seeing 2 choices in the import from RR. One called Broward County Public services which uses 855 frequencies but for some reason its show it as Motorola Type II Smartzone, or are they using the Broward County public safety (p25) which uses frequencies around 770 mhz.

P25 P2 .

You will also need 2 TWO SDR's one for the control channel(s) and one for the talk groups.

Yep. I ordered 2. Having issues getting signals but next week gonna order external antennas.

maybe it was said up in a previous post - but you will need the FASTLANE version of DSD+ to trunk track and decode a P25 Phase 2 TDMA system. The free version does not support P25p2.

I am planning to use SDR trunk which i believe should be able to as it has a P25 Phase 2 Option

 

[APX8000]

Yep, I use SDRTrunk for Broward.

Wow, where did you find out about that great software?!? How's that working out for you?!? Have you tried Trunking Recorder, I hear it's pretty sweet when the two are teamed up!!!

 

[APX8000]

I may bow to the Master guru, but I still have more dongles than you.

 

[JimD56]

To bweaver1985 I had problems setting up SDR Trunk with noolec SDRs. Ended up returning them and going with RTL-SDR V.3, 3 of them.
YMMV

Yea I'm not liking the MCX antenna port at all. Only issue with RTL-Sdr v3 is they are out of stock. For next 2 weeks

 

[JimD56]

They are worth the wait. Got mine on amazon and used gift cards.
Using 2 with SDRTrunk for the Broward P25 II Simulcast, and the other SDR# Sharp with the scanner plugin for the VHF/UHF Analog.
Discone and Yagi in the attic into a Comet Duplexer 20 foot drop into the rack.

(Edit: In my opinion....) From a VHF/UHF perspective - the (real) v3 RTL-SDR and AirSpy R2 are the only ones that are worth the $.

Edit: are you using a FM trap (filter) on the input to your SDR? I seem to recall that at least a few of the dongles I tried gave similar results to your picture without an FM trap....again, just my experience.
