P25RX User Manual
Stand-alone, Digital Police And Fire Receiver
With Control-Channel And Bluetooth-Audio Support
The P25RX allows you to listen to unencrypted law-enforcement, fire department, and other
agency's digital communications publicly available in your area. The P25RX is not an old-
school scanner. The P25RX can receive the control-channel of trunked P25 Phase-1
systems. A single control channel frequency can enable monitoring of all the agencies or talk
groups that utilize that control channel. Some shared systems cover multiple cities and
counties. Configuration can be as simple as entering a single frequency for a control channel
in your area. Because the information is digital, you can also easily program the device with
agencies or talk groups you want to listen to. If you don't want to spend time configuring talk
groups, you can enable the configuration option for "allow unknown talk groups". In this case,
the BTConfig software will auto-collect and store all talk group information with the tag-field
set to 'unknown' for later editing. In the auto-collect mode, encrypted talk groups are
automatically stored and disabled for talk group tag-fields that have the default 'unknown'
description. The P25RX learns about alternate and adjacent control channels over-the-air
automatically and can be configured to roam to these alternate channels on loss of signal.
The integrated national frequency database makes programming primary and alternate
roaming control channel frequencies quick and easy. Unlike many receivers, the P25RX is
designed for excellent performance when receiving data from RF linear simulcast systems
(LSM).
