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.
