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

Bill, Matt,

I'm not aware of a specific reason why conventional wouldn't work, but I'm happy to look at it if we can localize the problem.  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.
