UniTrunker P25 decoding tips...

[Muxlow]

I think the tap is fine just have to wait on UT to tweak the C4FM a little more
I have 4 different scanners tapped different ways and never get over 30%
And im about 4km's away from the tower

I gave it a whirl on the new RCMP P25 system too (which is also C4FM). Same result, only about 30% signal strength. Like I mentioned earlier though, it seems to track the systems just fine... So it IS working.. I'm just fussy about my signal levels

Have you ever tried Trunk88, I like the way it breaks things down better then UniTrunker? Although I use and like them both.

Unfortunately Trunk88 doesn't work with P25 systems. Works great with 3600 baud systems though.

Stupid me, I forgot about the P25, senior moment! And I'm getting older every day.

Pro96Com does P25 CCh, sortof. It requires a scanner that can do it already, and just deals with the RS232 stream. The display is lacking a "Call History", apparently -- shows active calls only? Signal strength shows higher than UniTrunker, but then it's not doing the decoding either so it probably doesn't see the BER.

I've used Pro96Com as well, and it seems to do a very good job.... the only drawback being you need to tie up a $400 scanner as the feed. Much rather use my old Maxtrac

Exactly right. The DOD system here is on 380MHz, and I haven't found a cheap (discriminator) receiver for that band yet. MaxTrac doesn't appear to go there. Ideas?
