[arm-allstar] The Quantar and AllStar

[Kevin Walsh]

I have had success with the following:

If you select the “Enhanced” option under Hardware Configuration -> Wildcard (you must also tell the Quantar you have an 8-wire Wireline card, even though you likely have a 4-wire), that will present another conditional test in the WildCard Tables. That condition is “RX ASTRO ID”. If you have a P25 signal, there will always be an Astro ID. 

So for analog you can say “RX CAR DETECT” AND NOT “RX ASTRO ID”
For digital watch for just “RX ASTRO ID”

To the original post, I would suggest you get a DIU3000 which will receive your P25 signal and convert it to analog. Then you could interface to the DIU. I’m fairly certain it can bring both analog and digital audio out, but it’s been a while since I played with it.
