Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a radio with discriminator tap?
A: The short answer - Yes. The long answer - You may be able to decode 3600 baud Motorola control channels with a 50-70% decode rate without a discriminator tap. This is totally dependent upon the scanner/receiver and sound card you are using. You will not be able to decode EDACS, APCO Project 25 or MPT1327 without a discriminator tap.
Q: Do I need a slicer?
A: No.
Q: Do I need a computer that runs DOS?
A: No. This program does not run on DOS.
Q: Will this work on Windows? If so, what version?
A: Yes - Windows 95 (with IE4 or later), Windows 98, ME, 2K, and XP (all flavors).
Q: What types of trunked radio systems can I monitor?
A: Motorola, EDACS, APCO Project 25, and MPT1327.
Q: How can I use this to listen to calls on a trunked radio system?
A: Yes. You need a second radio that accepts computer control to tune to voice calls as they occur.
Q: Does the program permit downloading talkgroup information from the RadioReference.com Web Service?
A: Yes - you can download Motorola and APCO P25 systems by trunking system ID. You can download EDACS by looking up the RR DB SID (that's the ID # assigned by the database to each trunked system). You must be a paid member with a valid user id for this feature.
Q: Can I import my trunker data files?
A: Yes - read the Hints section of the documentation that describes how to do this.
Q: How do I install this MSI file?
A: For Windows XP, double-click on the file. For earlier Windows, you may need to install something from Microsoft.
