I am very new to using Ubuntu OS and O op25. I cannot get the system running, my rtl sdr does work on the virtual box but op 25 is not starting.
attached is the error message I am getting. I appreciate the the help.
Thank you in advance.

I have finally gotten the OP25 and the virtual box to work again on my windows machine, now I am getting an error that I was not before. This is a fresh install of everything from virtual box onward. I get the following message when attempting to start OP25.
Traceback (most recent call last): File ".rx.py", line 52, in <module> import op25
ImportError: No module named op25
Then it goes back to the command prompt.
What does this mean? Attaching a screen shot.
Thanks for the help.

Been away from this project for awhile, Where can I get a copy of the live cd?

Without further information (i.e. stderr.2
logs) it's hard to say for sure what the problem is.
Most likely although your fft plot "looks" good
you may not be accurately tuned. Typically you'll need
to adjust ppm (-q parameter) to bring the tuning into
alignment enough that the p25_demod locks on. When that
happens you should see the TSBK counter start to
increment.
If
you're using the "boatbod" fork you can use
the mixer plot (key #5) to dial in the ppm and fine tuning
more accurately than is possible with the fft plot alone.
Furthermore, you can also use a nac value of 0 if you
don't know or cannot verify the nac of the system you
are trying to tune.

I have been trying to decode P25 signal using RTL2832U and ubuntu 16.04.
I had run the rx.py script from the Op25 rep with the arguments.
The FFT seems to be right.
However I have no audio nor any NAC or tsbks being identified.
Can anyone point out where I am going wrong?
TIA
Has anyone else tried to use the SkyWave linux distro yet besides me? It's based off the Ubuntu 16 LTE. I have installed this to my laptop and then just for grins installed the boatbod version of op25 on top of it. To my suprise the op25 is working along with cubicsdr several other utilities on the distro. I was even able to use my hackrf and ham-it-up box to search around the lower HF bands too. I did try to load SkyWave onto my windows 7 laptop at work but it lost it's network ability. Still trying to figure that one out. Anyway, that's all and can't wait to hear some other stories regarding this as well.

Before a fire dispatch they have a few beeps, I don't think it's for paging, I think just attention. They also have a beep everyonce in awhile in the police channel during restricted traffic. I cannot hear those using OP25, interested to know how I might get that to work?
Hello everyone,
First of all: Thank you to the admins for granting me access to this group! :)
I am a musician and IT professional living in southern California, but I have little experience with radio. I recently bought an RTL-SDR dongle (the silver one) and I successfully got it working on Win10 with HDSDR and DSDplus, so I can decode DSD and P25 phase I, mainly. I also have an installation of Linux Mint, 64-bit. I'm running everything on a gaming PC that I built, so it's got a lot of speed and RAM.
Before I gained access to this group, I followed this PDF to setup the dongle on Linux Mint:
https://ranous.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/rtl-sdr4linux_quickstartv2-18.pdfhttps://ranous.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/rtl-sdr4linux_quickstartv2-18.pdf
I then managed to get OP25 installed. Once I gained access to this group and started to skim over the various tips and tutorials, I took a few days to decide what options I wanted to try: Raspi+OP25? Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit in a VM? Or stick with Linux Mint?
I decided to try the Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit tutorial yesterday. I spent the entire day trying to get Ubuntu 32-bit installed in a VM before I realized it didn't like that I was trying to give it 16GB of RAM. 8GB did the trick. But after following the tutorial found here from 2017, OP25 generated a lot of errors and decided to put it down and go back to Mint for a while.
Through the tutorials and RadioReference.com, I managed to find a local p25 control channel for the police. So I setup a trunk.tsv file and trunkk.tsv with the groups I wanted to listen to.
As of this morning, I was able to run OP25 in a terminal window in Mint, tuned to 470.025, using rx.py.
The command I am running is:
python rx.py --args 'rtl' -g 65 -f 470.025e6 -N 'LNA:49' -2 -V -v 0 -S 1000000 -q 2 -T trunk.tsv
The problem is, I'm not sure if it is working because:
1. I hear no audio (using an external sound module, alsamixer is working properly to route audio to this device)
2. When I run the script with the above command, my terminal window fills up with the error "tuning error +1200". The frequency displays in the lower left corner as 470.025000.
Pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, lol.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MP

Greets All, I've found references to the TIA 102 AABC standard all across
the web and other P25 standards documents, but I've never been able to find
a copy of this document itself. Could anyone on this list point me in the
direction of a copy? I think it'd be great if these documents were all
checked into OP25 source control or uploaded on the Wiki somewhere.
I really appreciate any help, thanks!
