I don't have a trunk-tracking scanner, but decided I wanted to listen to the local system a bit.
System in question:
Washington State University Trunking System, Pullman, Washington - Scanner Frequencies
I've got the frequencies programmed in conventionally, and am scanning, and hearing lots of interesting stuff. Usually the transmission is easy to identify contextually, so it's interesting even without knowing the talk group. However, the data bursts are getting a little annoying. I'm new to trunking and curious what I can do next...
The radio I'm scanning with now is a Yaesu VX5R. I understand the LTR data bursts are sub-audible. Could I filter them somehow with CTCSS or DCS? My guess is no, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask because I don't know much about the control data It doesn't appear that the audio is using a PL.
I don't have a discriminator tap on this radio, but I think I have that available on another radio. Is it worth wiring up and attempting to decode with software?
