Hi, The software is literally called “Virtual Audio Cable” (google for
their download page). There’s also a free one that should work that I
recently found called “VB-Cable”.
Most likely, my signal is not a digital voice, because it’s dynamical
characteristics is not like for voice: signal is continious, there are some
periodical ‘peaks’ in about 10 sec, but there are no other fluctuations.
forgive my ignorance but can I listen to encrypted digital with this set
up
Hi, for VAC is didn’t change anything, just default settings. For DSD I
used the -xr flag as my received signal is an inverted MOTOTRBO signals. In
SDR# I used NFM, and I found that a low filter order or 10 worked best and
that filtered audio seemed to help a little. You’ll need to fiddle with the
volume sliders and find a range that works well for yourself since all
sound cards are different.
look at that traffic
WHat kind of VAC software are you using? thanks !
Does this computer have a multi-core processor?
I tried to decode channel that is most likely digital voice with DSD, but
no decoding happens. Using virtual audio cable and other settings as in
your video (filter order to a value of 10, use filtered audio and set dsd
to high CPU priority). What can be wrong? Video sample of my signal
available at my channel.
I just tried running DSD on the sound from your video but got nothing. So
either the video sound quality was not good enough, it’s not digital voice,
or it is but it is a format not recognised by DSD.
Nice. Where is this from? London?
It’s a 4 core Intel i5. I don’t think SDR# or dsd do multicore processing
though.
what are your exact vac setting and dsd commands. and sdrsharp settings
your are using?
I used VB-cable with RTL but my old computer works better with a
discriminator feed from an old Uniden scanner. That way only one program,
DSD, is running.
LOL It’s about as far from London as it’s physically possible to get and be
on dry land – bloody Yanks (shakes head) 🙂 Mind you, it’s entirely
possible that there is a London in NZ so maybe I speak too soon… 😉
Hi, sadly you cannot listen to encrypted digital with this, only
unencrypted. I don’t believe it is possible to decode encrypted currently,
and probably won’t possible be for the foreseeable future.
good work how you got everything all set up. Must give it a go myself!
It’ll be a challenge for me lol
Thanks. This is in New Zealand.
Nice demo. 🙂 I also did the DSD, but using GNU/Linux in command line
youtu.be /qPWD4imXXsc Yeah, a little bit complicated, but, it works 🙂
Thank you.
Do you get any sort of text scrolling from DSD on this signal without extra
command line settings? If you do but the sound is garbled, it’s probably
digital voice but DSD detected the wrong setting. Type dsd -h into the cmd
line to see more settings. If theres no text scrolling then it’s probably
not digital voice, or DSD is not receiving audio properly. Make sure SDR#
is outputting to virtual audio cable. Also, I had to set virtual audio
cable to my default audio recorder for DSD to find it.
Digital voice decoding demo using SDR#. This is exactly what I imagine a
lot of people are going to be doing right away. Time to sell my old
scanner!

can you help me when i start dsd+ it just shows me what sound cards and
stuff that I have it does not scroll showing data but on the very top it
shows some kind of number lvl +6% s/s += and some numbers
still can not get it 2 work dont no how 2 use command prompt
how do u get in to the command line
this call was like near you or how far ?
