Hi Keith

This would be very helpful! We don't currently have a lot of hard data on how "phase 2" systems work. AFAIK the top thing on the wish list would be a voice channel capture (when the channel is transmitting in phase 2 / TDMA mode). Supposedly only the GRE PSR-800 scanner can receive this mode.

The capture should be in complex format - the sample rate should probably be at least 96,000, higher rates no problem.

As long your hardware is supported by GR you should be able to use the usrp_rx_cfile or uhd_rx_cfile app (or equiv). to do the signal capture... Mostly, the only other thing when capturing is to make sure the RF front end gain is set optimally - there are GR apps such as uhd_fft and usrp_fft for scoping signals, helpful to get a bearing on things...

Best

I've done some basic decoding of the control channel with some windows apps already but haven't tried anything with gnuradio yet.

I think there may have been one or two _very_ old ones that still use Franks' p25 and RD-LAP protocol handlers, but those apps date back to the days before our project had its own protocol processing...
