Hi hu. There are many reasons for the audio cut amid a transmission , you must first be sure to have a good level RF signal , second, that the waveform is well centered with two symmetrical sides in the graph , including the power of the CPU you 're using can make the audio is cut. In my case, I have a very strong signal and I dim it a little.

By the other hand, since the last uptade I´m still without error telive crash. I'm runing in VMware Ubuntu 12, 32bit. Still catching SDS data

Does it matter when installing libncurses-dev that it's libncurses5-dev that gets installed?

Telive in Wmware

Osmo -tetra needs a lot of memory to run in Wmware . Osmo-tetra can't work with funcube with 1GB memory but run with 4GB and 4 virtuals CPU in wmware settings

Even with 4GB memory in virtual memory , the Osmo-tetra diplay is loosing frames . (not on the same PC in dual boot)

the best use is dual boot . I m running telive with an Dell inspiron 5 YO old and 1GB RAM . It is working fine

To reduce CPU usage you can redirect script on /dev/null : no display but good audio

my computer is 2GiB,Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5500 @ 2.80GHz × 2

signal is very strong and symmetrical.

Help with RTL-SDR script

any problems?

in the tutorial here: RTL-SDR Tutorial: Listening to TETRA Radio Channels - rtl-sdr.com they use ubuntu 14.04 32-bit. 14.10 will most probably work too.

if you're using a 64-bit system, they you will have to compile the codecs for 32-bits. there is a description in the documentation, this is for debian but probably will be the very similar for ubuntu. basically if you know what you're doing you shouldn't have any problems

Hello. Hopefully you can help. Using a clean install ofUbuntu 14.04 64bit. I tried to run Marcus Leech's install script. After about 1 minute I fail at the GNU radio installation stage. I ran the command with -v at the end and i got :-
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependancies.
libcheese-gtk23 : Depends: libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 (>=0.91.8) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcogl15 (>= 1.15.8) but it is not going to be installed

libcheese7 : Depends: libclutter-gst-2.0-0 (>= 0.10.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gstreamer1.0-clutter but it is not going to be installed
libclutter-1.0-0 :Depends: libcogl-pango15 (>= 1.15.8) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcogl15 (>= 1.15.8) but it is not going to be installed

E: Error pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Failed to find just-installed command 'git' after pre-requisite installation.
This very likely indicates that the pre-requisite installation failed to install one or more critical pre-requisites for GNU Radio/UHD

Any help would be appreciated. I really want to get this to work. Thanks very much. AJ

i've pushed a few minor changes to telive: fix ncurses crash, disable KML export by default.

if you want to reenable KML export, then please uncomment the relevant ones in rxx. KML exporting was causing problems, and this is some bug which i can't resolve (in case anyone is interested: this is very simple code, i have a linked list with locations which sometimes gets corrupted, and absolutely i have no idea why, probably something is corrupting the heap)

Is there an "easy" way to run the RTL dongel or GNU radio on a remote location and run telive local.

SSIs

Quick Question to anyone who can help, well not so much help but explain something.

Last night when I was running this I was filling in the ssi_descriptions, went well, I am able to add say '104555 Romeo 15' I was basically listening out for call-signs then adding it to the SSI Descriptions', but tonight when I am running this, their callsign seems to be Romeo 42, my question is... Is the SSI the ID of the Radio meaning that the SSI I seen last night is still the same radio I am seeing tonight or do the SSIs change.

I really hope this makes sense.

Ta!

the ssi is the id of the radio. so if different radios are dispatched to different people on every shift the ssis can change. maybe these radios are mounted in cars, and people get different cars for every shift. who knows.

but most probably some of the ssis stay the same. this will be dispatchers and other people important enough to have their own radio.

depends on the network you have.

osmo-tetra-sq5bpf communicates with telive via udp (but currently it is hardwired to send to localhost, but this can be easily changed). if you have a low latency network with no packet loss, then you could use this transport.

if you just want to have the dongle in a remote place, then use rtl_tcp or borip, and stream the data to your local gnuradio. there are probably lots of descriptions on the internet how to do this

a new version of telive is out.

this version should not crash with kml export (and kml export is enabled by default again).

it is also possible to change some internal timeout parameters, see the rxx script for a short description (RTFS for further info). this is only for people who know what they are doing, if you don't know what it's for then dont touch it :)

as usual please report bugs, crashes, interesting telive.log etc

It will be nice to be able to configure the osmo-tetra-sq5bpf output IP, to run telive remote

a new version of osmo-tetra-sq5bpf is out (please also make sure that you have the newest telive)

this one parses the D-RELEASE message better, and implements SDS-TL header parsing (instead of just assuming that its 2 bytes long). thanks to SM0VEC for the bug report!

thanks to SDS-TL parsing SDS which were previously undecoded are supported now. this is a really big improvement, and i would urge everyone to update.

as usual please send me interesting logs and bug reports. i am especially interested in NMEA messages.

also if anyone knows how RTCM SC-104 location messages are coded, then please send me the info.
