OP25 GRC - Almost but not quite working
by Andy Knitt 21 May '12

21 May '12

I have the OP25 GRC demo that Balint provided up and running. Everything seems to working except I'm not getting any audio out of the OP25 block. I'm getting the "four line" output from the dibit output port when there is traffic on the channel, and the autotune output is outputting data. However, no audio. I put a scope on the audio output and it's a flat line at zero, even when the dibit output is "four lines". Any tips on how to further troubleshoot? Thanks, Andy

Anyone know where I can grab a copy of the samples that used to be on the op25 wiki? Interested in getting a copy of the encrypted audio with known key. http://www.sedition.org.au/p25-samples redirects to home page. Thanks, Dave

OK sorry folks - this is what one should expect when they're dealing with ancient code (I really ought to update at some point!). I've fixed the gr-baz/python/op25.py code to first try the new OP25 blocks (with the slicer), and then fallback to the old version (without the slicer). Let me know if this works! Thanks, Balint

gr-baz : op25.py has dependence on fsk4
by Richard Clarke 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

Hi Balint, I notice that your op25.py module still has a dependence on the old Radio Rausch FSK4 demodulator<http://radiorausch.googlepages.com/GnuradioFourLevelFSK.html> that the OP25 project used to use but have now incorporated into their own source files. I was just wondering if there was any reason you didn't use the op25.fsk4_demod_ff rather instead of fsk4.demod_ff? You have, on the other hand, used the op25 slicer equivalent op25.fsk4_slicer_fb(levels). Just curious.

GRC error
by hotfire00 09 Apr '12

09 Apr '12

Hi everyone, New to GNUradio and OP25. I have the OP25 block installed in GNU Radio Companion and can build a flow graph with no problem. When I try to execute the flow graph I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/aaknitt/Documents/top_block.py", line 53, in <module> tb = top_block() File "/home/aaknitt/Documents/top_block.py", line 34, in __init__ self.op25_decoder_0.create() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/baz/op25.py", line 65, in create self.p25_decoder = op25.decoder_ff(self.op25_msgq) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'decoder_ff' I'm guessing this is because I don't have something installed properly, but I can't put my finger on how to remedy the problem. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Andy

GRC Flowcharts
by allanjs1986 08 Apr '12

Yes me again haha :-) I thought it might be a good idea for the less advanced in the group (like me) and others, for members to save there flow chart files in the files section. Like a P25 decode flowchart, using the gr-baz project. FM Demodulation and any other that may be useful.
