It would be managed remotely, and by people I don't necessarily want at the command-line. :) I tried hacking it together myself but my python skills are lacking. But I can build my web UI and middleware in another language if rx.py can handle the signal. -- _ | | |-| | |pu <apu(a)spfld.com> http://www.spfld.com/

rx.py can already monitor conventional traffic. In fact this feature was there before trunking was. On Tue, 19 Dec 2017 at 06:55, 'William Becks' wa8wg(a)centurytel.net [op25-dev] <op25-dev(a)yahoogroups.com> wrote:

Matt. I don’t think this works with Graham’s op25 (rx.py) fork having tried a number of configurations (combinations) but not able to decode conventional P25 non-trunked IMBE. Perhaps Graham or Max can elaborate if this functionality is still supported. Thanks again!

Especially for the recent coding changes allowing for FQDN --wireshark-host command line entry. The addition of the --nocrypt function was very innovative and solved an issue in my area where some talkgroups use a mix of clear, and encrypted transmissions that were previously impossible to reject without also filtering the clear voice transmissions as well.. I am personally very grateful for the work that you and Max have done to improve the code. If I could wish for one new feature, it would be to incorporate code allowing rx.py to monitor conventional IMBE non-trunked transmissions. Such a feature would be great for monitoring small non-trunked systems in addition to providing a great resource to monitor and analyze amateur P25 transmissions from MMDVM and similar devices. Keep up the good work and best of holiday greetings!

Earlier changes include the addition of the source radio id (where available) to the terminal screen, as well as indication of when encryption is active (only applies when using --nocrypt command line option).

Graham, Below are two test examples of my attempts to monitor conventional P25 (IMBE) voice transmissions. I am using my VHF XTS5000 as a test signal generator having one of the conventional personalities programed for ASTRO25 IMBE on an amateur simplex (146.460) frequency. However, rx.py reports an exception and terminates without decoding LDU1/LDU2. In a previous attempt, I setup a dummy.tsv file to include the NAC with control channels fields set to “”, and then with set to “0” but no joy although rx.py didn’t report an exception and terminate. There was just no indication of decoding LDU1/LDU2 in the console output with an on-frequency P25 signal applied to the SDR. Please let me know if there are any other tests that might help to diagnose this. Thank you, Bill, WA8WG Test example #1: < imbe.sh> ./rx.py --args 'rtl' --gains 'lna:49' -f 146..460e6 -q 0 -S 1000000 -v 10 -V -U 2> stderr.2 Terminal output rock64@rock64:~/op25/op25/gr-op25_repeater/apps$ ./imbe.sh linux; GNU C++ version 6.3.0 20170221; Boost_106200; UHD_003.009.005-0-unknown gain: name: LNA range: start 0 stop 0 step 0 setting gain lna to 49 supported sample rates 250000-2560000 step 24000 set_center_freq: 146460000 rock64@rock64:~/op25/op25/gr-op25_repeater/apps$ Error log output gr-osmosdr 0.1.4 (0.1.4) gnuradio 3.7.10 built-in source types: file osmosdr fcd rtl rtl_tcp uhd miri hackrf bladerf rfspace airspy soapy redpitaya Using device #0 Realtek RTL2838UHIDIR SN: 00000001 Found Rafael Micro R820T tuner [R82XX] PLL not locked!

Since I don't have any P25 conventional to test against, might I request the first step is to enable log level 10 (-v 10) and then park the app on top of a conventional frequency and see what appears in the log. -D fsk4 (this is a guess, so try with and without) -f <desired frequency> -V -U -v 10 -S 960000 -q <ppm> -d <offset> (or whatever values work for you on a trunked system) You shouldn't need (or want to use) the -T trunk.tsv parameter. In an ideal world you'd see some LDU1 / LDU2 messages in the log and hear audio, but I'm going to guess that's not happening right now for whatever reason.
