APCO P25 Decoder for WR-G305 Receivers
This APCO P25 Decoder Plug-in makes it possible to receive and listen to digital APCO P25 channels on WiNRADiO WR-G305 Series receivers.
APCO Project 25 (P25) was developed by joint efforts of the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials International (APCO), the National Association of State Telecommunications Directors (NASTD), several US Federal Agencies and the National Communications System (NCS). It was established to address the need for common digital public safety radio communications standards for public safety, homeland security and emergency response.
APCO P25 digital communications offer numerous advantages over analog ones, such as much clearer received audio, separation of services (fire, homeland security, maintenance, etc.) into coded “talkgroups”, individual radio identification numbering and tracking, GPS location, digital messaging, etc.
For this project, WiNRADiO licensed the IMBE (Improved Multi Band Excitation) vocoder from Digital Voice Systems, Inc. (DVSI) and combined it with WiNRADiO proprietary software to provide a complete P25 demodulator/decoder as a simple to use, low-cost software add-on for WR-G305e or WR-G305i users.
