Wich distribution of ubuntu and wich version of GNUradio..?

by souf308

Hi everybody I'm a graduate student working on a project and I have to realise a reception with an USRP of P25 standart communications. I have basics knowledge in linux and I have been struggeling those days to make work gnu radio and gr-baz (with op25 module..). I tried many distribution: Ubuntu 12.10/ 32 and 64 bits and now I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 (64) and still have problem while compiling gnu radio.. I understood that there are a lot of dependency problems due to the different versions of Ubuntu and gnuradio. My question is simple, wich Ubuntu version should I take in order to make the gnuradio build script work without problems and gr-baz get installed without issues? Thank you very much Souf

In need of signal samples

by md123＠nycap.rr.com

Hi everybody! I would have thought that there would be samples the web but i have been unable to find any and the link on osmocom is broken. I am in need of some signal samples so i can familiarize myself with the scopes and how the signals look in them. I want to start with P25 but I really need to be familiar with all sorts of signals so sharing of any kind of signal will be much appreciated. Thanks! Matt ----------------------

The Old OP25 apps

by Matt D

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone! I would like to bring back one of the tabs in the old OP25; the tab that displayed all the ids and wut-not. I had the old version somehow but I uninstalled it and deleted it so i cant even have a look at the code behind that tab. Would it be possible to add that tab to the new OP25? If so that would be something I would like to try to do. I was also wondering if it would be possible to add the 'correlation' tab from the signal scope app to the new OP25?

Thanks Guys!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone! I just wanted to say that I have been using OP25 with wireshark for a while now and I want thank all you guys who endeavored to put OP25 together.

Wireshark Help

by Matt D

Hello everybody, osmocom is down (sad) so I cant look for the answer there. How do I tunnel the gnu radio into wireshark? is there a sink that goes to an ip address or a usb port or something? I am stuck here without the instructions on osmo. Thanks, Matt -----------------

No Audio

by md123＠nycap.rr.com

Hi guys. I set the sample rate at 1.024M because the RTL2832's minimum sample rate is 900k, the decimation at 32 and the samp_per_sym st 8 so I get a channel rate in the decoder of 38.4k. I watch the the FFT Plot until the carrier freq pops up, I center that channel on zero, narrow the bandwith a little, looks like good 4FSK. So then I go to the Dibits tab, change the marker to dots and there is the four lines streaming across the scope perfectly, not one dot out of place. But no audio. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Matt

No audio output from OP25 block

by md123＠nycap.rr.com

Hello everybody. I am trying to figure out why I get no audio from OP25. So I hooked up a scope plot to the audio output of the OP25 block. And nothing, the line is flat. Any ideas as to why OP25's audio output is dead? Thanks, Matt ----------

Wireshark start up problem

by md123＠nycap.rr.com

Hi everybody! Using the scripts on osmocom i put wireshark on my machine. The download, unpack, patch, build and install all went with no problem. Now trying to run wireshark the start up fails with this error: ERROR:about_dlg.c:271:splash_update: assertion failed: (ul_sofar <= ul_count) Has anyone dealt with this error or know any sort of solution?

Sample rate?

by md123＠nycap.rr.com

Hi guys! I am wondering what is the optimal sampling rate for capturing of P25 transmissions. My main problem (aside from not getting audio) is that, while I can successfully capture at upwards of 2.0M, I can only play back at around 56k without greying out the gui. I am a little confused about this because I thought the throttle would control the clock speed for play back. Any suggestions on configuring the settings would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Matt -------------

IndexError: gr_firdes check failed: 0 < fa <= sampling_freq / 2

by md123＠nycap.rr.com

Hello everyone! I am getting another weird error here. i received my USB e4k tuner and it was working. On OP25 i was using the scopes trying to figure how to get the four lines of dots and with RTL_FM i was getting audio, although the quality was bad. So i shut it down and i went out try on high ground but the signal was still weak. So i shut it down again, put myself within line of sight of the tower, and started it up and now OP25 dies like this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/matt/gr-baz/gr-baz-master/samples/op25_grc.py", line 595, in <module> tb = op25_grc() File "/home/matt/gr-baz/gr-baz-master/samples/op25_grc.py", line 339, in __init__ self.gr_freq_xlating_fir_filter_xxx_0 = gr.freq_xlating_fir_filter_ccc(decim, (firdes.low_pass(1, samp_rate, xlate_bandwidth/2, 1000)), xlate_offset+xlate_offset_fine-fine_click_freq-auto_tune_offset_freq, samp_rate) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/gr/gnuradio_core_general.py", line 6871, in low_pass return _gnuradio_core_general.firdes_low_pass(*args, **kwargs) IndexError: gr_firdes check failed: 0 < fa <= sampling_freq / 2 I have no idea how OP25 (same for RTL_FM) goes from working to failing with this error. Anyone have any ideas about this error? Cheers, Matt

Re: [op25-dev] Re: Updating the OP25 codebase

by Keith S

I'm not much of a coder but I can assist in taking captures of a p25 phase II system. There is a site near me. I have a gnuradio setup using rtlsdr dongles. Let me know how and what you would like me to capture. There are audio channels and a Motorola trunking control channel on this site. I've done some basic decoding of the control channel with some windows apps already but haven't tried anything with gnuradio yet.

Updating the OP25 codebase

by Steve Glass

Hi Everyone I think its time to organize a drive to move the code to the latest version of GNURadio. The OP25 codebase is suffering badly from bit rot and that needs fixing. GNURadio has evolved and developed many new features we've not properly kept up with. Fixing the codebase will mean that we can get people working with much less hassle than at present. I've created a wiki page<http://op25.osmocom.org/wiki/wiki/ReengineeringPage>to act as the starting point. I shall start opening tickets this week and start mapping out the direction of the exercise. For now I want to focus the effort on the core OP25 components and we can use GRC as our top-level test harness. Take a look and take part in the discussion. Atb Steve

Repeater Build attempts

by Doug Bade

Well it looks like in order to build this I am going to need a little more input from anyone who has succeeded. Every attempt with every OS I have tried has failed at some point due to lack of direct support for some modules and or failures to compile to outright incompatibility. Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTS got me the closest however when attempting to compile Zaptel, the compile fails with errors which googling them results in commentary that the Kernel is too new so I will need an older Kernel in Debian or Ubuntu. How old??? Good question. as all the notes in Allstar's build indicate CentOS 5.x is supported, nothing newer.. that does not help me much in the debian world. I tried several versions of CentOS 5.x , and all result in various modules being of incorrect versions available or would not compile. I tried CentOS 6.x and got closer but failed to compile Zaptel for the reasons stated above. So if the intent is to allow us to build over a wide array of OS's I can say that Isn't going happen. The modules are so critical that have been used that I have yet to find a version that will build. So unless someone wants to give some specifics in versions of OS that are currently running asterisk as well as op25 as well as GNURadio, I have been thus far unable to find a combination that supports all of them. I tried starting with Allstar and with XiPar and neither has support for GUI nor was I able to get a GUI to run, apparently that process eludes me and my limited research to get it running as well as patience. I would say with the current state of the docs, at best Linux experts seem to be the only group of builders that are going to be able to step through the minefield of a build. I am not criticizing the docs, I understand they are written to be generic in many ways, but the build requirements are far from generic in OS/Kernel requirements to get it running. While I am maybe a power user of Linux, I am not a developer. so I may be above my knowledge base attempting the build. I own and operate a dozen or so linux box's in my life including VMWare virtualization on CentOS at work. I thought the instructions looked do-able for my skillset. I do not mean to criticize as much as suggest a little more documentation on OS baseline starting points are in order.. As Debian and Ubuntu seem to build best, that maybe tell us what version is in use so we can get Zaptel to compile??? If that part fails, the rest is moot. Without Asterisk running the repeater part is dead. Doug KD8B

Repeater Build

by Doug Bade

I am going to make a more scientific approach to the build, I decided to dig into Asterisk docs about platforms, I am not sure how tailored the Allstar Link versions of this is in their svn but will start with baseline specs in the Asterisk docs. It looks like Zaptel should be able to build on any 2.6 kernel which means up to 11.04 or so Ubuntu, or CentOS up to 6.x should work. A cannot recall how far I got on CentOS 6.x with allsar build but as Allstar is based on CentOS , that may be the closest match. I am going to concentrate on getting Zaptel to build.. Can someone tell me if ZTDummy is the only driver needed???? For a Sound card build??? It looks like CentOS 6.x Debian 6.x and Ubuntu 11.x should all be Kernel 2.6.x and in theory support asterisk repeater.. We shall see.. If I can get that working next will be what it takes to get GNURadio running. Doug KD8B

becuase i am stuck on this on an error (AttributeError: 'gr_hier_block2_sptr' object has no attribute 'set_callback') i decided to try to build again. when trying to install the 4fsk demodulator i get this error: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/matt/gr-fsk4/src/lib' /usr/bin/swig -c++ -fvirtual -python -modern -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio/swig -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio -module fsk4 -o fsk4.cc ../../src/lib/fsk4.i /usr/local/include/gnuradio/swig/gr_basic_block.i:26: Error: Unable to find 'pmt_swig.i' note that when i run op25 the first output line is "Imported legacy fsk4". so now i am confused as to how grc is importing the fsk4 if i cant even install it?

Error: Port has too many connections.

by md123＠nycap.rr.com

if i don't disable the 'raised root cosine filter' then i get this error in the op25 properties box: Sink - bb(0): Port has too many connections. i already had to disable the 'wx gui fft sink' to get rid of the "AttributeError: 'gr_hier_block2_sptr' object has no attribute 'set_callback'" error which i believe stops the op25 python gui from running. has anyone else had to deal with this "too many connections" error? thanks guys!

re displaying the raw IMBE data

by lynnolium2005

After a long time I have finaly got OP25 working, my thanks to the people who helped get it going and the numerous posts here that clarified issues. there is one change I would like to make to the code. this is to change the way the data is either displayed by wireshark or a new start command that will display the 88 bit rew IMBE data rather than the 144 bit interlaced data. I have been told that OP25 will display the data in thuis format but I will need help (step by step if possible) to do it
