OP25 is a program that decodes P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 digital radio. Some municipal areas are upgrading to P25 Phase 2 so almost gone are the days that you can track them with a police scanner since P25 is a Trunked Radio system and not just a lone frequency to monitor. The only things that do Phase 2 are hardware scanners and hardware radios and OP25 for software radios. Bear in mind Phase 2 could be encrypted and nothing you can do will decode it.
OP25 is HARD. I’m a geek and I messed with it on and off for a year or more and it whipped me more than once. Now that I have it working I find that it is REMARKABLY easy and I’m mad at all the geeks out there who never made a simple tutorial. There are tutorials out there, some good but everybody leaves out the good stuff or the stuff they took for granted.
