Any advice or hints on getting scope.py tuned and then to stay tuned? (I'm trying to listen to New Jersey Interoperability Communications System -- P25 Phase II -- in case it matters.)
When I first played with op25 a few months ago, I stuck it on a spare computer with a NooElec SDR dongle. Took a little futzing but I had it up and running in a day or so and it actually stayed working perfectly for close to 6 weeks. But this was just a test so that computer wasn't on a UPS and shut down during a power failure.
Same hardware and I haven't been able to get it to stay tuned for more than a few hours since. Figured maybe it was just the SDR dongle drifting so I bought a RTL-SDR dongle which is supposed to drift less but I'm still having problems getting the system to tune for more than 30 minutes or so.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
Got the ppm adjusted? Use kalibrate to find your offset

I was using "rtl_test -p" for the PPM. "kal -s GSM850" was not finding any channels.
