Installing op25 from source on a Raspberry Pi

op25 is basically an SDR based radio scanner that can decode and manage trunked radio communication. For more information, see http://osmocom.org/projects/op25/wiki.

This procedure will install the boatbod fork. It must be installed after the gr-osmosdr step on Part 1 of these procedures.

APCO Project 25 is the digital communications standard used by many police and emergency services throughout the world. Most notably the US, Canada and Australia deploy systems based on P25. Compared to existing analog systems, P25 offers improved spectrum use, coverage and flexibility. Provision is made to ensure the confidentiality of traffic, to allow the use of trunking and the provision of data in addition to voice services.

Some services are encrypted. This software does not provide decryption.

op25 can also be set up to stream online. Online streaming is not covered here.
