I am running DSD on a Dell D600 laptop using a cheap USB sound card for input and the internal sound card for output. I have two scanners with discriminator taps, GRE PRO-2006 and PRO-2053.
This setup will decode the local 700 MHz P25 system like a champ even though my PRO-2006 will not tune exactly to the frequencies. It works remarkably well, almost as good as my PSR-600!
Now I have two new Kenwood Nexedge systems nearby. They are on 450 MHz and both scanners will tune exactly to the frequencies. I have programmed a bank in my scanner with all the frequencies in the trunked systems, identified the control channels and locked them out.
Thus far I have not gotten anything. I have tried the -fi option to force NXDN 4800. I have tried both scanners. I have fiddled with the input levels. I have cussed and threw things. I have about run out of ideas!
Question 1: When I am sitting on the control channel, should I be seeing a constant scroll of data like I do on the P25 system? I see nothing happening right now.
Question 2: Does anybody have a Nexedge system working on dsd and if so do you have any tips or suggestions that might help me out?
