Live Phoenix police scanner radio direct from the South Mountain Towers in Phoenix, Arizona. This P25-II broadcast decode is being handled by SDR-Trunk and a $33 Dongle (RTL-SDR v5 found here https://amzn.to/3uKW6Dy). Read below for more info!
It can get a little hectic if you're not familiar with stereo L/R dual outputs like this... so be prepared. In short, the audio is automatically split between Left and Right channels. You can mute the right side if the left side is more interesting, or vice-versa. Or, stick with both and listen in HARDCORE MODE! ;)
Here's My Setup, Currently:
[ THE HARDWARE ]
--- 1 RTL-SDR v5 - $33 (https://amzn.to/3uKW6Dy) This bad boy is tracking and decoding the audio streams for all conversations. (IMPORTANT: Many people are basing their RTL-SDR setups on a few older P25 setup videos that say you need TWO (2) RTL=SDRs. This is not true. It does help gather more audio from high traffic areas, but is NOT a requirement.
--- 1 RTL-SDR v2(?) 2016 Era - $20 - (Ebay, etc..) This dongle is tracking the P25 Phase II Trunk Control Channels Only.
--- RaTLSnake M6 v2 - Premium 3-Antenna Bundle - $22 -(https://amzn.to/3UJ1G3O) This is a decent set of antennas with stubby, magnetic bottoms that can attach to your car if you create a mobile version of this.
--- Bingfu Antenna Adapter Splitter Cable - $7 - (https://amzn.to/49vlMmE) This allows you to buy good antennas (like the ones above) only one time, instead of twice! Save some money... ;)
[ THE SOFTWARE ]
--- sdrtrunk - FREE - (https://github.com/DSheirer/sdrtrunk/releases) Our main attraction! This is the primary software running the show.
--- RadioReference Premium - $15 *LTC/crypto* - (https://www.radioreference.com/premium/) Easily activate all of the functions on sdrtrunk. These two work very nice together. You can technically do it manually, for free, but uhhhh.. good luck! (it's $15. the cost of a banana.)
Zadig - FREE - (https://zadig.akeo.ie/) This tool will let you change the MAC address of your dongles. The reason you need this is because the dongles used to be all the same MAC address and it caused collisions, but it's not really needed anymore. I'm keeping it in the description because you may need it if you are setting up your own rig.
