Kairos Tier 2 simulcast DMR BER coverage testing

[rockandrolliswar]

Hello all,
First post on the forum. So thanks in advance for the help!
I've heard legends that some folks have sorted out how to perform BER coverage testing on a Kairos Tier 2 Simulcast system.
Trying to figure out a way to do this. I have access to an R8200 and a R&S ZPH. I'd also be willing to purchase an LMR master if it was up to the task.
I haven't yet tried, but many local vendors are claiming it's not possible to perform BER testing on a simulcast system. I don't believe them They claimed that the kairos repeaters stripped the test tone.

Anyone have any experience with this? I'd love to hear about your setup.

unfortunately there is no know device at the MOMENT that would be doing this?!?!?!
You'd need GPS, scanner device, and mapping software to accomplish this kind of testing.
NOW, there is stuff for P25, but I have not seen it for DMR. YET.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm heard many murmurings that it's possible, but so far yet to be seen!
We have all the gear to do it for analog, but that DMR is proving to be quite the pain.
Will share when we crack the code one day!
