In my experience, DSD+ on a discriminator tap is ineffective for simulcast systems since it has the same issues as typical scanners in attempting to demodulate a complex digital signal from an analog device discriminator output. I use DSD+ from a IC-R7000 discriminator tap for control channel signal analysis but audio demodulation is generally poor to useless in the presence of simulcast distortion. You need the IQ demodulation capabilities of a SDR or digital device to properly process simulcast signals.It appears that most on this thread have trunking P-25 Phase 2 capable scanners.
I've had some success listening to the system's South signal with just a single RTL-SDR, a piece of wire hanging from the window, and SDR-Trunk software running on Windows.
Next step for me is either a second RTL-SDR (or other SDR) with DSD+, or a discriminator tap on an old scanner and DSD+.
The threads on this system have been most helpful. I'm keeping an eye out for the day when the LE talkgroups become encrypted.
Regarding my post from Jun 3, 2020, that plan was killed in the womb and obviously never materialized. Allegedly there has been discussion of encrypting the LE Tac talkgroups at some point in the future, but that hasn't come to fruition yet either, so just enjoy listening and let's leave it at that.I'm keeping an eye out for the day when the LE talkgroups become encrypted.
Use the standard 7/800mhz IDENDoes anyone have the band plan for this that they are willing to share?
No, it's an 11 GHz microwave hop.Is it a hardline connection from the 911 center to Fire Training Center? I only see one microwave antenna.
