Monitoring with a Radio, not scanner

[Mirrah]

I have a spare 800mhz spectra laying around my shop and I want to set up a monitoring system using unitrunker. Can this be done? And how?

Yes. You can use the 15 pin accessory connector on the back to get baseband audio. This feature might need to be enabled via CPS/RSS.

Would that be in RF modem mode?

Shouldn't be RF modem. I used to do this with a Maxtrac. I don't think I had to do anything with it. If you do have to do anything, I think it's on the first page, "accessory connector" (F4->F2? I haven't ever used Spectra RSS). Just grab a plug/accessory kit for the 15 pin connector, wire up an audio cable to the audio out and GND connections, and you're laughin'.

If you mean, 'show the system activity with Unitrunker', sure, if (as others have said) baseband audio is available.

If you mean, 'Have Unitrunker control the radio to LISTEN to the trunked system', I don't think so. The radio isn't designed for computer control, I believe.
