I'm new to digital decoding, and can't figure out where I should start. DSD, DSD+, DMRDecode? Other?

I'm trying to decode non-trunked MotoTrbo. I'm less interested in listening to the voice and am instead looking to get color code, talkgroup and whether or not it's encrypted. I'll then program Rx only on a CS-700 to listen.

I already have a discriminator tapped scanner, and would prefer Mac OS, but can do Win XP readily as well.

So which software package should I go for?

Update:

Did the discriminator tap mod this morning. Was reminded that my eyesight is not what it once was, but avoided burning myself on the soldering iron.

Thanks to Mike's recommendation, got DMRDecode. Tried it on OS X, no luck. Ran it under an XP virtual machine, and it runs.

Spent a bit of time dinking with a USB sound card without success. Eventually tried the Mac's built in audio, and it got sync.

Decoded a color code, timeslot and talkgroup.

Programmed my CS700 and sat back and waited.

Decoded audio in Spanish, which I don't speak fluently.

Figures. :)
