Program a Motorola MTP3250 radio to listen to Honolulu Police/fire/ems?

[jakes_tornado]

Hello people!


I was wondering if I were to have a Motorola MTP3250 (which costs a hell of a lot of money) would I be able to program the Honolulu police/fire/ems onto different talk groups on the mtp3000? Somehow, I thought it would be a great idea, so I want to try. Either that or streaming it live over a talkgroup. If you know what the answer is to either one of these comfusing question, please, leave a reply, I am really excited to see if a EDACS Provoice Digital radio system would be recieved over a tetra radio. (Which the u.s. doesn't even use)


Thank you peoples, hoping for a reply.

So I won't even be able to stream live audio onto a talkgroup?

Will I be able to do this with a Hytera PD365?

Still no.

How do people program their radios to receive live audio from online through a talk group?

Well firstly, you'd need a radio that does the same digital format. TETRA isn't even close to ProVoice.

I think he is referring to some videos I saw on Youtube where a British chap has a pair of TETRA radios and has them set up so that one is connected to his computer and transmitting whatever is heard from a live audio stream on his PC to the other radio which he carries around and listens with.

If that's the case then two compatible radios are required and one needs to be connected to the audio out of the PC which is receiving a live audio stream from wherever.

Yes, thats the one

Alright, I will have to try that out then, Thanks!

Isn't it easier and more cost effective to just use one of the Uniden scanners that has the Pro Voice upgrade installed? From what I hear on the audio feeds, it sounds pretty good.

I think the "if" is the key word. Seems that he's already financially invested here.

I want to use the Hytera PD365 because they are at my disposal.

As you've already been told, it won't work.

You need a Provoice capable radio.

The setup using two radios, one connected to a computer feed and transmitting to the other is possible with either radio. Of course getting this to work the way you want it is dependent on many other issues. Are you licensed on the frequency that you'll be broadcasting the feed on? Is the MTP3250 type accepted for use on the service you intend to use? Does the service you intend to use allow this type of transmission? What kind of distance are you looking to cover? Without the proper infrastructure in place, portable to portable range will be limited. The advice given above to get a ProVoice Capable x36 series scanner is probably the best option.
