My wife and I miss listening to our local police and fire here in alberta, but they switched from analog radio to digital so our beaofeng no longer works, what do we need to listen again. Thank you.
This project is still a work in progress, however with an RTL-SDR (link in description) software like SDRTrunk (free) you can easily listen to digital trunked radio systems.
@@josesnyder840 Currently working on finalizing some of the bigger features of the control head, but I do have a GPIO display I have been testing with.
I've been trying to get conda working correctly so I can try it since you posted this comment :) I'd like to give it a try, we'll see if I can get it to run under my environment.
There are modules for SDR++ as well as some other software that can do it. Unfortunately we don't have analog television out here anymore so until I can get my hands on another computer it'll be hard for me to show it. I tried transmission and reception from the same computer but it took too much CPU to get the job done. In the future I do plan on showing this through, it's definitely doable.
Glad to hear it, video transmission has always been a big interest to me, I hope to get live camera feed working at some point as well as go back into ATSC/8VSB and more as well. Satellite work will happen again once I get my hands on a new receiver.
@@SignalsEverywhere Sounds very interesting! I better get working on my license to properly and legally use all the cool features I see people like yourself use. Receiving signals is ‘fine’ without a radio license but transmitting needs to be done responsibly. This video has rekindled my motivation to get my own license so thanks for that as well.
The image did jump around a bit in windows but that was due to OBS recording my screen at the time, not a fault of the software. Thanks for all your hard work and effort on it, I had a blast! :)
This is with a Chinese clone, I used to have an original but sold it when I left RU-vid for a while. With this I can get a crossed the room but not any further with a basic dipole antenna
If you can create an FFMpeg stream you can use a camera that way, my goal is to use OBS as the stream but it didn't work out very well in a replicatable manner. I'm still looking to see what methods could be used to make this work better in real time, will definitely make a follow up video once I figure that out.
No video yet, right now it's just a install script and read me file on the GitHub. Although I do see some benefit in making a video, I've had quite a few people ask for additional assistance and getting it set up so that might be helpful.
You can manually enter one site and several control channels from within the app currently. Automatic site switching however heavily relies on radio reference data. So if you just need the site by your house or around town, it'll work fine without radio reference.
I seem to be stuck. I've started from scratch multiple times. However, when I try option 3: Install OP25 and the mchserver service, I get numerous checkdir errors preventing the system from creating directories, stating permission denied. Is this a common issue?
I've only had a few report back their experience so far. Can you join discord and provide some logs? I'm planning to do a fresh install myself to test everything since the last update sometime this week since you're having issues with the install.
I think the issue was venv creation too early in my script. I'm currently compiling everything as a test but I've pushed a code update I think that will have fixed the issue.
Please try the new script when you get a chance and let me know, you may have to delete the zip file and OP25 folder that it created. I've also updated documentation and I'm looking for better ways to handle installation but what is up there currently should work I was able to run it on a fresh install today
