RAVE VS op25

Also, theres new tools like https://github.com/acids-ircam/RAVE which can be used to create new sounds, i feel like the more granular you work with AI on art, the better can help you out. Magentajs is pretty cool! Im still just playing with it but is easy to use so far.

https://github.com/acids-ircam/RAVE hope this wasn't too much off topic, i'm just super enthusiastic about RAVE and have been trying to squeeze a sonification in with it with no good applications so far. this feels kinda awesome tho. maybe it fits?

I'm in the deep learning music scene, which is due for its stable diffusion moment in the next year or two. The (primarily) timbre transfer system called RAVE is where I'm starting, and my contribution is to optimize the system to improve training time.

I'm obsessed with generative audio models, particularly RAVE[0].

Music is set to have its GPT-3 / Stable Diffusion moment within a couple years.

I believe in 10 years the venn diagram of music made with computers and music made with neural nets will be a circle, and that now is a great time to jump in.

Would LOVE to swap notes with anyone else here into this. Email in bio.

looks like it may not be able to do what I want it to do according to this. https://github.com/boatbod/op25/issues/184

I have no experience with DMR myself, but my understanding is that the Boatbod fork of OP25 has experimental DMR support, and I believe SDRTrunk software does, too.

Using OP25[1] with RTL-SDR dongles to implement scanners for trunking P25 radio systems on a computer. And as a sidebar to that, listening in on geographically remote public safety radio systems using Broadcastify[2]. It's basically the old "radio scanner" culture, but taken online and distributed worldwide. People listen to all sorts of stuff, but given my background as a former firefighter and former 911 dispatcher, my main interest is listening to public safety dispatch stuff.

That said, another commenter below mentioned modern "phreaking" and how it's become more radio centric... and while I won't admit to doing anything illegal, let's just say that there's some interesting stuff you can do / look at / listen to these days, especially with ubiquitous and inexpensive SDR hardware and related resources. See the recent story about the KrakenSDR passive radar stuff, and some of the papers that are out there about P25 security flaws, some of the automobile hacking stuff that's RF based, etc., etc. There's a fascinating world out there buzzing around on invisible electromagnetic fields... and you can tap into it with a $30 dongle and a Raspberry Pi (or your PC).

If it's P25 Phase I or Phase II then SDRTrunk might work. boatbod's op25 might be another option, but more complicated to set up.

I don't have a full guide for you, but I use https://github.com/boatbod/op25 for receiving and decoding P25 Phase 1 digital signals on the command line.

If you are handy with Linux you can use an RTL-SDR and OP25 on a Raspberry Pi or really any PC. This is the page for the Fairfax trunked system https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=6957. Any talkgroup with mode D can be listened to, mode DE is encrypted. If you want I already have config files made up for the police dispatch and fire/ems dispatch channels.
