Boatbod OP25 was forked from Osmocom OP25 on September 10, 2017. Since that time is has undergone continuous development and has incorporated select Osmocom feature enhancements as well as contributing bug fixes and enhancements back to the parent version. At the current point in time these two code bases have diverged quite significantly, and while they continue to provide broadly similar P25 trunk-tracking functionality, the user interface and specific features of the two applications are different. Everything found in this wiki is specific to the Boatbod variant of OP25.
Boatbod OP25 currently supports two variants of the op25 application known as rx.py and multi_rx.py respectively. The choice between the two is largely driven by needed features. Most users start out wanting to monitor a single P25 trunked system (such as their local fire or police department) and rx.py is the easiest way to achieve this goal with the least effort. More complex setups involving multiple P25 systems, multiple channels, online streaming and/or alternate protocols (e.g. Motorola Smartnet/Astro 25) are only supported using multi_rx.py.
The boatbod/op25 project is hosted by github.com and delivered as source code. Before it can be used it must be properly compiled and installed.
This wiki is very much a work in progress. When complete it will provide information on installing, building and setting up Boatbod OP25.
