Has anyone considered adding this or found a work around for those noisy stations that keep breaking the squelch? Thanks Chris

Thanks for the response. I looked at the code and from what I can tell, it’s just using various ham radio rigs built in CTCSS facilities and programming them via RS232. Am I missing something? Chris On Dec 7, 2013, at 3:22 AM, Sdr Guru <sdrguru1(a)gmail.com> wrote:

The app_rpt file has some functions to detect tones in an audio stream that can be used to detect the CTCSS tones. Look through the "tone_detect" function along with the goertzel_* functions. They're not specifically tagged as functions to decode CTCSS tones, but they should be able to be used as such. Those functions are expecting to be fed a 16-bit signed linear mono audio stream.

For transmitters that don't use tone squelch, the best FM squelch is a noise squelch, which detects the "quieting" an FM signal causes. The gr-scanner project (which is incomplete/work-in-progress, don't bug me about functionality yet) has one, albeit written for Gnuradio: https://github.com/bistromath/gr-scanner/blob/master/python/standard_squelc… It's a rewrite of Gnuradio's "standard squelch". --n On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 10:17 AM, James Sharp <james(a)fivecats.org> wrote:
