All of that matches DSD+, but my Uniden doesn't even recognize it as being ANY DMR flavor. It just mutes the audio and displays no indication of it being DMR.
Does Tier III offer CC encryption or some other way to obfuscate the data?
I suspect some form of encryption may be causing me issues as well.
The system I'm monitoring is not in the (downloadable) database yet so I can't tell how it will be imported into a x36HP model.
Uniden's last DB pull is dated 1/1/2017 so the next time they do a DB pull and publish, the system should be able to be imported.
I'm able to monitor the system in conventional mode and my 4 and 536HP's all show it as DT3 so they are at least recognizing that fact.
The system is still not carrying voice traffic yet so I can't tell what voice channels will do when it becomes fully active.
I don't even know what the voice channels may be as the sites FCC license still show it as an analog system I think.
The system in the DB here is at:
Warner Communications (DMR 13) Trunking System, Shiloh, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies and I'm working with Site 5 which gives me pretty much full signal.
I do not know the system manufacturer but knowing the radio system vendor, my guess is it is a Motorola system.
DSD+ is only showing the active neighbor sites in its logs.
Once some voice traffic starts, I'll capture some logs so Paul can have them looked at but I don't see any sense in doing that yet with zero voice traffic.
I did once see what appeared to be a voice channel spit out in DSD+ but I accidently deleted that info when upgrading DSD+ to the most recent version.
I wish there were a proven way to add a real discriminator tap to an Icom R9000 but as complex as that receiver is, it seems there may be several tap points for the various modes. I thought the auxiliary 8 pin DIN jack on the rear panel spit out unfiltered audio as the manual leads one to think but I quickly found out it just duplicates the front panel jack that spits out fixed level (but filtered) audio for recording or feeding an external audio amp.
I don't feel like pulling the R9000 out of my rack just to experiment and try and find an FM or NFM baseband audio output point. The radio weighs nearly 50 pounds so its not an easy task getting at it for experimenting!
I did tap my R7000 which uses a single tap point but I had issues as the tap point says to just insert a 10k resistor inline for the output but that really screws up the R7000 center tune meter reading. It drives the meter almost full deflection to the right with or without a signal.
I was able to use a non polarized lytic cap of 50 volts and about 4.7 uF to keep the center tune reading correct. Any smaller value ceramic cap value like 1.0 or less just ended up filtering the audio so higher baud rate systems would not pass the baseband audio out to DSD.
I may start a new thread to see if anyone has a better value cap for filtering the DC present on the R7000's recommended tap point.
Anyway, that's all I know about T-III DMR systems at this time!
I do have an Icom R-2500 that has a built in tap which works great at least up to 9600 baud. It was intended for Packet protocol by Icom but passes anything I've sent through it to DSD+.
I also have an R8500 but it is not connected to a decent antenna for scanner type services as I mainly use it for HF signals. It has a simple jumper inside that converts the 10.7 MHz IF output to baseband audio instead and works well for HF modes. I assume that output would also work very well for VHF and above baseband audio output.
