What do I need to do to get mtrunker32.rar to work on a Windows XP machine.

I do not have a data slicer.
I do have a sound card.
I do have a Pro2006 with a discriminator tap.
I do have T4WIN up and running.
I am not monitoring any 800 MHz systems, only 460/470 MHz systems.

I guess I'm just stupid, but I can't figure it out. I have never run Trunker, but am familiar with DOS, however, I do not have DOS on this machine and do not wish to reboot into DOS mode just to run this program. I want to run it as I would run T4WIN (in a Window). Is this possible? Thanks.

A RAR file is much like a ZIP file. Search online for programs like "WinRAR" that will allow you to "un-RAR" the package (including the trunker.exe file inside) contents to a directory.

Got it, I feel stupid now. I just didn't know what a *.rar file was. Thank you for the help. Any word on the sound file that I sent you?

Hi Scott;

Thanks for sending this WAV file in for the system in Spain.

Info is Sysid 7105 Connect Tone 105.88 hz Control Channel LCN is 397 decimal (18D in hex). Looks like a Smartnet system - no smartzone messages. Of course, you know this already. For me, the file wasn't useful for testing because it contained only background messages. There was no call activity. Was this recorded late at night or on a weekend?

The signal quality wasn't too bad. If you've got the time and a chance to record the system when it is more active, I'll be glad to test it here.

Regards,
Rick

Rick,

It's a pretty slow system. That was recorded in the middle of the day. There is another system (6635). They both display out of whack frequencies in the 470's with numbers like 776 and 960. I subtracted 759 from 960 and got 201. I then searched for 201 on Wayne's spreadsheet. After changing the "base" freq a couple of times, 960 lined up with 201 as the TX/input frequency. I did this for all of the mystery channels and they all lined up. I just don't know which input is ascociated with each output. Heck, I don't even know if I did it right, but it looked right on paper and worked out perfect on the spreadsheet. It just sucks that the system isn't very busy, or I'd probably already have it figured out. Thank you for the help though and if I get a good recording of it when it's active, I'll send it your way.

Scott
