what is the way to log the content of the V XTRA line to see RC4 display

I'm using :

dsd-fme.exe -i tcp -fs -0 -3 -e -N 2 >log.ans

log.ans doesn't have any of these informations

Try adding -Z. It shows the MBE/PDU Payloads.

I'd probably just run the command:

dsd-fme -i tcp -fs -Z -N 2> log.ans

Those extra switches aren't really going to do you any good, particularly -0, that requires you to have an RC4 key specified to even work properly, and -3 is only if you want to disable the late entry alg/key/mi stuff, which, is working pretty well now on the latest versions of DSD-FME, so I don't recommend even using it, unless you get false enc sets from some weird single burst from cheapo radios or something.

Discussing how to get it isn't illegal.
Listening to encrypted voices is what's illegal
You may be right. However, it's an ambiguous, at best, law that can't possibly be enforced. Passive listening is undetectable, and unless you announce your dirty deeds, no one will know. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like discussing how to recover encryption keys might be considered "conspiracy" and I have no desire to test that theory or set precedence. Besides, I think legalities are really only secondary to the concerns of freely available software to recover encryption keys may cause a desire to use more effective encryption, like AES. I'm glad I'm too dumb to know how.

Unauthorized decryption is illegal across the entire planet.
Hmm…

In Sweden all monitoring and also attempts to decode encrypted signals is legal as long as it isn't a pay-per-view kind of service. You are allowed to own and use radios at any frequency as long as you do not use the transmit button, with a couple of exceptions. You are not allowed to disclose what you have heard on frequencies not intended for the public. I.E. no audio streaming allowed.
