I have been fooling around with T4win that last day or so, and I have to say it is way cool! This is the first time I have ever used a utility like this and it is amazing. I set it up yesterday morning and I have already logged 100+ TGs on the County Motorola system here. I decided to give it a whirl on the state wide EDACS TRS that, among others, hosts the highway patrol. As you may or may not know the NHP was operating an "illegal" VHF system for a year or two, and just recently moved their operations to the state's 800Mhz DOT system.
Because the system is so new and undergoing changes all the time, very little is known about it. I thought putting T4WIN on would yeild up some info a little quicker.
I am using a Pro 2005 as the input runing into a Compaq Presario Pentium 4 2.8 ghz processor with 248 Mb of RAM. I am getting a decode rate of 100.0 and it has identified the TRS as EDACS 96.
The problem is that the talkgroups are not being decoded properly in the AFS format. When I switch to Decimal they are correct.
For example:
737 decodes as 737, but in AFS 05-121 decodes as 05-097. 05-122 comes out as 05-098. They all seem to be off by 24. This is really annoying, and it makes new TGs hard to identify. NHP seems to be located in the 05-XXX range, DOT in 06-XXX, UNLV as 11-XXX, and Nevada Power as 08-XXX, with a few exceptions
Another question I have is about the "patch" screen. I have been monitoring this system with my 780 as well and yesterday there was a new TG 08-013. My 780 was flashing the word patch along with talkgroup numbers. I expected this to be displayed in the patch screen too, but it wasn't. Also, when I switched to one of the talkgroups being patched on the 780 it was diplaying patch and flashing the TGs it was patched to, but the T4WIN screen only showed the one talkgroup as active(08-013).
Could somebody please explain this to me, and any possible solutions? Also as a general question about T4Win overall, what are the affiliation and radio ID screens for?
Thanks for any help BJ
