Open Ear 1.7 For RTL-SDR: Convenient All-In-One Decoding of TETRA, DMR And POCSAG!
Download OpenEar 1.7 here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IJsPDXn678yKm8GZs7u0MMTtX95zrPtx/view?usp=share_link Back in early 2020, there was a lot of hype in the Software Defined Radio scene about a standalone Windows application that could decode multiple commercial digital radio systems. And, it took direct control of the RTL-SDR to eliminate the need for an SDR program and virtual audio cables. Sounds good, doesn't it? Shortly after OpenEar's release, it became apparent the app used open-source code and was in direct violation of GPL software licensing. The source of this drama and controversy appeared to stem around the TETRA decoding component, which led the author of OpenEar to disable that functionality in the next release. Sometime in December of 2020, the project was officially cancelled removed from GitHub. As of 2022, the author claims to be still accepting and responding to emails that request a copy of their "banned" OpenEar 1.7 application. Which I believe is where my copy was sourced from (I downloaded it from a good Samaritan posting a download link in the RTL-SDR blog comments section) Here is a quick demo of the TETRA and DMR voice decoding functionality. In addition to that, I've shown how it can also read POCSAG pager messages. Find the download link at the top of the description for OpenEar 1.7. Thanks for reading and watching!
