DMR Decoding with DSDPlus

DMR Decoding with DSDPlus

In this simple guide to setting up DSD, I show what you will need, and how to get started, along with a few other bits of useful information that I'm sure will come in handy when listening to digital voice. I also show some MOTOTRBO going through a repeater, and listening on the repeaters input channel.

DSDplus Trunking Setup 1.08t

DSDplus Trunking Setup 1.08t

This is how to install DSDplus to do trunking using version 1.08t available from the fast lane early access.

Some note from the maker of DSDplus:
FMP and DSD+ audio device numbers are "different" because FMP uses output devices and you were looking at DSD+ input devices (which is correct when linking to FMP/SDR#); in/out numbers can be different because you might have different devices, like an extra input or output device, which can shift all of the following devices numbers.

Also, if you make a device the default in or out device, it becomes in or out device #1 (IIRC), which again, shifts the other device numbers.

Network and site names have to be manually added to the DSDPlus.networks and DSDPlus.sites files. Systems do not broadcast these names.

When trunk voice following, the four FMP/DSD+ console windows ("DOS windows") do not provide much useful information; they can be minimized (by clicking minimize button in upper right corner of window)

Decoding MOTOTRBO with Digital Speech Decoder 1.6 beta

Just some clips of the new Digital Speech Decoder in action. I have mixed in the raw audio that DSD is decoding from, along with the decoded audio, so be aware that when you are decoding you won't normally hear the noise. The undecoded DMR is much quieter than the speech but it is only there so you can hear the strength of the signal that DSD is decoding from.
For people looking for a mototrbo "scanner" there are none on the market at the moment, this is the closest you will get to having a mototrbo scanner.

Improved digital voice P25 decoding with DSDPlus

We previously posted about the DSD digital decoding software and it’s usefulness with the RTL-SDR dongle and other signal sources. Now there’s a newly released version known as DSDPlus which promises to deliver improved decoding and clearer audio of unencrypted APCO Project 25 (P25) radio signals.

This program is designed to be used with your RTL-SDR receiver software such as SDR#, with the receiver’s output piped to the DSDPlus program using a program such as Virtual Audio Cable or similar. Unfortunately, DSDPlus is a Windows-only offering at this time, and the anonymous author isn’t releasing the source.
DSDPlus is available for download from MEGA. You can find more the program user guide in the README file.

DSDPlus is available for download

MotoTRBO/DMR decoding on PC with DSD

Decoding some MOTO TRBO with the Windows port of DSD - Digital speech decoder. I recommend that you listen with headphones or earphones to hear the full sound quality of the recording at the end.
The sound clip at the end of the full quality audio was recorded from the stereo mix of the computer while it was decoding. I just left it on decoding all day with a VOX recording program and listened to what had happened when I at the end of the day. That audio clip is basically a section of that.
