There is no such resource that I am aware of that downloads data from Radio Reference and
creates trunk.tsv files. However, you can build multiple systems into your trunk.tsv
file that may serve your needs for mobility.

Hello all..
Bill,
Forgive my intrusion, but are there any resources out there that can
generate a trunk.tsv file, given
RadioReference.com data as input? I can
hand craft them, but I travel a fair amount and it would make things
easier in new places. If there is not a script for this out there, I'd
be happy to throw one together.
Thanks for your time.

Dick,
You do need to configure a trunk.tsv file and point to it from the
scope.py command line. Some of the important parameters in this file
are the P25 system NAC, list of primary and alternate control channel
frequencies, center frequency, in addition to the capability to specify
either a whitelist of desired trunk group id’s or a blacklist of trunk
group id’s that you do not desire to listen to. It’s not necessary to
fill in the whitelist or blacklist fields as OP25 will treat omission of
these fields as if you are just using a wildcard that allows you to
monitor all talk groups broadcast on your particular system.
The trunk.tsv file has very specific syntax parameters. All labels and
data fields must be contained in quotes and are tab separated. The best
tool to create this file is to use Libre Office Calc that is packaged
with Linux desktop distros. Feel free to call me or email me your P25
system parameters and I will gladly generate a trunk.tsv file and email
it to you.

FM/Bill
Thank you much Bill and FM for the reply Now I was able to download
the example from the op25 website and have that run. I get data
from all the tabs except for traffic and FAC tabs. Does this test file
have audio? I also don't use a tsv file as someone stated earlier that
if you just enter the control frequency that information will start
filing the displays. That was my approach since I felt like leaving it
wide open
would yield some results. I will go ahead and start from scratch and not
load the Gqrx as suggested and go from there. If I haven't gotten
this thing making noise by the end of the weekend, I'll definitly upload
them.

Hi Dick,
Yeah...this software can be a real hair puller to get working. I'm now
half bald :)
Are you getting any indication that op25 is working at all on your
system of interest? Such as seeing tgid's or at least displays on any
of the scope functions? Even after I got op25 to install, I had to mess
with the data files to get it working. Took quite a bit of cut and try
to get it working. Op25 is also picky about system id's. I also had a
number of issues with getting the audio to the speakers. There are a
couple of ways of getting the audio out, and they each have their
peculiar nit-picky things you have to do to make it work.
As Bill suggested, you could post your data files for us to look at.
Might be interesting.
If you're getting choppy audio with just using rtl_fm, my suggestion
would be to try an rtl-sdr stick instead of the hack rf. If you don't
have one, I'd recommend buying one with the .5ppm tcxo -- they're under
$25 on ebay or amazon. The cheap ones are under $8 without the tcxo.
The hack rf is a more complex device, so that may be contributing to the
issues that you're having. If you're still having issues after trying
an rtl-sdr stick, I'd try starting over with a clean load of ubuntu and
following the procedure I wrote for installing op25. I'd also not
install gqrx until after getting op25 working. I installed several
other software packages after getting my op25 working, and it broke some
of the functions of op25. When I have some time, I'm going to do
another clean load, and see if I can figure out what broke the
installation, and if there's a way around it.
Come back and let us know how it goes.
Regards,
fm
