Hey y'all I need some help, I'm new into everything to do with radio, I got my RTLSDR last month so I don't have a good grasp on everything. I have been trying to decode digital voice for a while, and I have had success once, the image attached has the frequency I am trying to decode. I have decoded 2 minutes of audio before so I know this is a true signal (police voice channel) and not encrypted, but cannot get it to decode again. I have searched for every problem I could find before resorting to asking here. Here is what I have done so far.Originally I was on NFM, I switched to WFM just before taking this screenshot to see if it would help, it did not.
I have changed my gain a lot, currently, it is at around 20 I believe.
My audio is not peaking I have made sure of that, and the sound is piping via a virtual cable.
I have no audio filters, no noise reduction, and no channel cancellers on, and correct IQ is on as you can see in the image.
I have changed bandwidth multiple times and centered the frequency as best I can, this was probably what I spent most of my time on.
I have DSDplus set to auto-detect, and I know it is detecting correctly since once again I did manage to decode this once before.
My setup could be the problem I suppose, I have a dipole antenna that comes with the RTLSDR kit, though I don't think that is the problem since I am getting a strong signal without too much gain. I just have an RTLSDR v3 as mentioned before, and the virtual audio cable piping the sound into DSDplus.
I am not sure what else I can do, I know I'm possibly missing something obvious which I hope to be the case. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area! Any help would be welcome.
