MPT1327 Monitoring in Sydney

MPT1327 is a reasonably older system still being used throughout Sydney and some regional areas. The bigger ones being the Vertel VHF and Telstra Fleetcoms UHF networks.  However, most scanners available on the market are unable to track the MPT1327 trunking network on their own like they do with EDACS, LTR and Motorola Trunking systems, but thanks to some developers, there is now an application called 'Trunkview' which 'TrunkView is an MPT1327 protocol decoder, used in a single radio setup without the need for a discriminator output.' allows you to be able to monitor and decode the MPT1327 control channel and be able to follow voice channels with the use of 2 scanners and this application.

Trunkview is available from http://www.linato.net/trunkview/ and works on most Microsoft Windows operating systems, and all is required is a audio cable and/or a RS232 cable.
