The P25 decoder (APCO P25 Phase 2 Decoder) uses both an internal software IMBE vocoder and an external hardware AMBE+2 vocoder for voice decoding. The WiNRADiO P25 decoder plugin is used to receive digital transmissions with a codec used to produce decoded audio from the transmission (this device provides the necessary codecs). The WiNRADiO P25 decoder makes it possible to demodulate, decode, analyze and monitor phase 1 and phase 2 types of APCO P25 digital signals (excluding encrypted types) using the WiNRADiO WR-G39DDC, WR-G69DDC and WR-G315 series of receivers.

The adjacent screenshot shows the WR-G39DDC and WR-G69DDC receiver application, where a separate window is spawned. With the WR-G315 receiver, the decoder panel is embedded within the main application window. The decoder supports the voice traffic on both inbound and outbound channels, displays digital transmission parameters and supports a secondary transmission channel if 2 TDMA channels on a single frequency are being transmitted.

Note: An APCO trunking option is under development
