Thanks Rick,

That makes sense. So for now, I'll just ignore the "odd" numbered groups :)

Unitrunker working great here on several Motorola 800 and one EDACS 4800 baud system . EDACS system showing a much lower decoding accuracy than Motorola. User interface easy to use and very intuitive. Currently running on Dell Inspirion 1000 laptop 512mb ram 2.2g Celeron Win XP sp 2

I noticed that the public beta still misreport the radio ID which the radio setup a I-call. for example, the radio 091A call to 0312, Unitrunker display the 091A as 0910, always a 0 fill the last number.... even I changed the display mode to DEC, it still misreport the ID.

Wang - you'll be happy to know this is fixed for the next release.

Thanks to BANDIT for supplying a hefty Packets dump file.

Also, the next release will use a LOT less CPU cycles. I forgot to turn off the raised cosine filter - which eats CPU cycles and does very little to improve P25 decoding.

Rick,

I've moved off the Air Force system to a Federal Prison system. I've got some new observations on a 400mhz/p25 system....

One unit told another to call him by radio ID. I watched as it played out and it showed a call being made on a TG16, and the "T" column on the screen showed "I", which I'm assuming is Individual call. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see anything more on the screen after that, as it disappeared almost as quickly as it appeared.

TG16 does not appear under my "Groups" label, although I know others have seen this group, so it is a valid TG.

At the same time this happened, it appears to have pointed to another frequency, which I don't have. The LCNs that I know are 1BD/406.8125mhz, 1EC/407.4mhz, 26B/409.0125mhz, and 28D/409.4125mhz. It added an LCN of 2BC, possibly the Individual call frequency. Is there anyway to determine based on the above pattern, what the frequency for LCN 2BC is?

I've also noticed on this system that there are at least 2 RID's with number/letter combination (i.e. 2E and 2F). I didn't see this on the AF system, is this a correct depiction of the RID?

Thanks,

John

Rick,

Scratch this question, I figured out my error :oops:

Hi Flano,

If you are uncomfortable with hexadecimal numbers, you can change the display option to decimal. This will display the channel LCNs in decimal.

This will also display the system id in decimal (which freaks some people out).

This may make the chore of figuring out a working band plan easier.

Just beware that - when inserting new IDs - the program expects them in the same mode that they are being displayed.

Hi Wang! How's the weather in Beijing? I'll send you a PM request with an idea on how to solve this.


Thanks, It's muggy here... and what about the Radio ID bug problem?

and I once use [F]ind - Sbscriber to find a Radio ID, the "Last seen on" time doesn't correct. and a do a test about it, now I can confirm it is a bug. I think it may because of my timezone. I hope more guys to confirm it, thank you!

LOL! See my belated response - only 4 or 5 replies above your post above.

Rick.
How long before we can get out greasy little mits on the next-new improved beta version of this. I think I've done as much testing as I can on mine so far, though others are still finding bugs it seems.
None the less is there any time frame. I'm getting itchy fingers again!

I will review the timestamp code. It may be using UTC or "Zulu" time which would put the timestamps about 7 or 8 hours behind your local time.

Thank you Rick and BANDIT! I think it will almost be the only thing makes me feel cool in the muggy Beijing summer...

Rick (and/or anyone else):

I mentioned this in passing sometime earlier in the thread, but it seems to have been missed. When I View the Channel, the display is just a static representation of the System (interpreted packets) scroll screen. It stays static until activty happens on the screen and then it begins to scroll (although it seems slower than the system screen) and when the site is idle again the display stops.

Of course the problem is that the channels are not being displayed, but rather this ... well whatever it is ... is there instead. :?

Rick,

Any thought to color-coding the different message types, so that, for example - the emergency bit, would stand-out in a different color, say red, to draw attention to that TG?

I'm asking, because I finally figured out what a specific TG is, with the help of this software. And it was transmitting a CT of 2, which supported what I learned.

Thanks again,
John, aka FLANO

I need to label the call types so that the word "emergency" or some abbreviation would appear under the CT column. We might be able to figure something out - might result in some visually ugly color combinations since the talkgroup and radio id have their own color settings.

That display is just a placeholder until I can fill it in with something useful. It allows showing affiliations in real time, but that's about it.

When I select "F" and "C" for channel, and try to edit it, I find that I often cannot select [D]elete to delete the channel. Using the tab ket just skips over the [D]elete function.

What is the name of the file where the frequency information for a system is stored?

No ... try Eric's program for that (and read through the FAQ for requirements - like a low pass filter for the subaudible data).
