I have the Phase 2 working, which is pretty exciting! The sound quality is generally intelligible, but not the best. I was wondering if that is just the nature of Phase 2 or if I have something configured wrong. It sort of sounds like the people are speaking through a Kazoo.
A bunch of it is online here: https://openmhz.com/pgcnorth https://openmhz.com/pgcnorth
And I have a attached a couple samples.
Are other folks getting better decodes?

two things to initially check, although it may be (for example) an analog-patched talkgroup or some similar case where the source itself contributes to the issue.... First confirm the problem occurs when using a stock version of OP25. Second make sure the number of error bits being corrected by the Golay decoders for c0 and c1 is close to zero. If not it could be you're incorrectly using the fsk4 demod (apparently all p2/tdma systems prefer the psk demod)...

Thanks Max! I double checked and it is definitely in PSK mode.
I added some print outs to op25_imbe_frame.h in the imbe_header_decode() function. It looks like there are some errors showing up there, it is generally 0 though. Is that the right place to check for c0 & c1 errors?
Great idea on just running OP25. I tried to get it working on my Mac but ran into Python errors. I will go try today on a Linux machine I have.
