UNIDEN TETRA

[hiegtx]

The price of the UPGRADE includes License Fees and the cost to develop the said PROTOCOL into the cost of each UPGRADE LICENSE.

That, I believe, is the gist of UPMan's explanation on the upgrade fees when the PreoVoice, & later DMR, upgrades became available quite some time ago.

@Motik
You have distributor in France with plenty of stock? Are there many shops sell Uniden in France?

 

[RRR]

And you've ignored the fact that the upgrade fee only covers licensing costs. Every buyer pays for the development costs.

So since I own 3 different SDS series scanners, I figure I've already made my contribution to development

I bought my Uniden scanners online from the UK and Spain, where they were cheaper. We do have a couple online shops in France (Passion Radio and CB+ come to mind).

@Motik
btw i contact passion in France, they do not sell the latest Uniden models. The only company i found in mainland Europe who have the newer Uniden models in stock, that is Avera located near Breda the Netherlands. Like i mention early post, uniden not do big marketing there products in Europe.
With the help from some local listeners in my area we did a count, in our area the most used mode is still analog and for digital its Kenwood NXDN 48 and 96 and second tetra. Local Kenwood brand is heavy promoted in the commercial users and Hytera handheld for DMR and with the local tetra provider network.

I would pay for tetra if it includes both DMO and TMO decoder

I understand, but...My patience is running out, to sell SDS and buy AOR...
In my region Tetra is one of the most popular system.

Is TETRA TRUNKING?
I have no idea what it is.
AOR has never built a trunking scanner.

Maybe I don’t understand something, but ...

It looks to scan the voice channels of the TETRA SYSTEMS not TRUNK TRACK them but that is how we started with the Uniden 8500xlt. in the 90's

Hmm...So, in 20's, how i can listen VC of the Tetra Sys with the Uniden?

it is not possible on Uniden scanners.

 

[buddrousa]

Maybe I am getting misunderstood you can not use a Uniden I was saying you have a start with the AOR.

 

[dougjgray]

There maybe software for sdr recievers that will recieve Tetra

SDR# - TETRA Demodulator Trunk Tracking Demonstration

I've been messing around with SDR# TETRA Demodulator plug-in to see what I could come up with in regards to trunk tracking TETRA. I did this as a stop gap until the big players have come up with something. And in true SDR form, here is the setup. I used 2 instances of SDR# (for CC and VC)...

Been a year now (minus a day) that the last update, or really any support, of the SDS scanners has come about.

Really having doubt if there will ever be continued support of Uniden's "Flagship" scanners

I think your only options for TETRA are:

SDR Sharp (plus TETRA plugin) for TMO/DMO:

List of SDRSharp Plugins

There are a number of SDRSharp plugins that extend its functionality. Here is a collection of all the plugins and download links that I could find. With modern SDR# installing a plugin is usually a simple matter of copying the plugin files to a subfolder within the SDR# Plugins folder. SDR#...

Yep, Im use Tetra Network Monitor with AirSpy.
My indignation is due to the fact that I can hear Tetra with 30$, and I can't with 649$ + 150$)))

 

[vselic]

Anything here in Europe is useless, because mostly all traffic is encrypted here. RTL SDR dongle + airspy is useless, because it just decode the tetra signal, but the voice/traffc is still encrypted, scrambled...

All the discussion is great but in the end, we just have to let TETRA play out, expand, and see what happens with scanner add on upgrades. I like the additional cost concept for upgrades DMR, NXDN and maybe TETRA, because I don't need them and don't want to pay upfront for them. Its discussions like these where I most miss Paul, UpMan.
