TETRA Decoder Plugin for SDR# Now Available

Back in 2016 cURLy bOi released a Windows port of the Linux based "Telive" TETRA decoder. Now the latest development in TETRA decoders is that a TETRA decoder plugin for the SDR# software has been released. This makes setting up a TETRA decoder significantly simpler than before.

The plugin doesn't seem to be officially released anywhere, but we did find it thanks to @aborgnino's tweets on Twitter, and he found it on a Russian language radio scanner forum. The plugin is available as a direct download zip from here, but we suggest browsing to the last few posts in the forum thread to find the latest version.

Installing the plugin is a little more difficult that usual, as you first need to install MSYS2 which is a compatibility layer for Linux programs. The full installation instructions are included in the README.TXT in the zip file. One clarification from us: you need to copy the files in the msys_root/usr/bin folder from the zip file into the /usr/bin folder that is in your MSYS2 installation directory. 

We tested the plugin and found it to work well without any problems. With the plugin turned on you just need to simply tune to a TETRA signal in WFM mode, and you will instantly be decoding the audio.

TETRA is a type of digital voice and trunked radio communications system that stands for “Terrestrial Trunked Radio”. It is used heavily in many parts of the world, except for the USA. If you have unencrypted TETRA signals available in your area then you  can listen in on them with an appropriate SDR like an RTL-SDR and decoder software like the aforementioned plugin.

When I open M-SYS2 shell and execute command “startrx” I get the following error: “C:/msys64/usr/bin/tetra-rx.exe: error while loading shared libraries: msys-osmocore-4.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

Any ideas? Thx!!!

Jesse

Have you copied the content? Followed instructions? It seems that is lacking files on the righ places.

Frank

I followed all instructions and copied “startrx” and “tetra-rx.exe” to “C:/msys64/usr/bin/”. The following command in “startrx” generates the error: “socat UDP-RECV:20025 STDOUT | tetra-rx /dev/stdin”

I tested it on two different Win 10 64bit pcs. What is wrong?

Frank

Fixed: Norton virus scanner deletes “msys-osmocore-4.dll” after unzipping tetra.zip

Jesse

For you all having force close problems. When I formatted my windows I only had the x86 VC++ version or x64. YOU MUST HAVE BOTH IN ORDER TO NOT HAVE FORCE CLOSE ISSUES. Please refer and follow strict instructions from friend “YV5CVF” in the comments below.

Pistulka

As soon as I start Demodulator, SDR# switches in mute mode (SDR# icon)
I get values in NETINFO, SDS and Other but no voice
Can anybody help?

Max

I have the same problem

Jesse

This is normal to me. But you need to find the tetra freq that transmits audio. Try doing it during the day when traffic is bigger.

atmel

Channel numbers turn red when you receibe data. Some channels don’t have much traffic at all.

johann

It’s normal operation.
It is not to wait for the frames. when there will be voice, switch will switch to unmute.

johann

Hello,
I saw a person using SDRCHARP with an SDRPLAY RSP1.
Where can I find the plugin? Thank you, Johann

Shehzad

What type of plug in ? what is it for ?

johann

how to run your rsp1 with sdrsharp?
thanks, Johnny

stef

Hello,what plugin you are talking about ?
My config : SDRPLAY RSP1 with sdrsharp 1.0.0.1491 win 7 64bit .
For me it is not working , when i clic on demodulator sdrsharp crash.

atmel

Try installing the latest SDR# from Airspy and install the latest version of vcredist 32 AND 64 bit

johann

uses the 1500 version of sdrsharp.
It works well with. …

Uses the plugin: SDR # PLUGIN – VERSION 2.2. he is on sdrplay.com

Tim

Search for extio, rsp1a, sdr#. It’s a little more than just a plugin. There is a pdf document at sdrplay
Need to use an older version of #. Perhaps 1361. It does work.

YV5CVF

After a good couple of fail/try: win10 x64= no problems. Win7 x64 no service pack= really a pain in the… head… even install .net and c++ is really a pain. Win7 x64 sp1= with all steps mentioned later works fine at first try.

So: use win10 (no need any update) with c++ x64 and x86 or win7 x64 sp1.

Morg

This is great, well done and thank you Curly Boi

Ale

any support for Google Earth KML? thanks

dextris29

Plugin work, but no voice is heard and “Network Info” window is empty, as the network is unrecognized by the plugin.
Tried 32000/48000 samples rates with WFM/NFM modes.
Got these bursts in the MSYS2 shell window:

atmel

You may have a reception problem, or the network is not standard because it’s written CRC COMP: xxxxx WRONG . Maybe there is no voice but only data, or maybe everything is encrypted. If you seee Air encryption: 1 it means the network is encrypted and you can’t receive the data.

dextris29

Managed to decode another network properly.
It has Air encryption 1 but I do manage to hear voice.
On the other hand, another notwork I found has this Air encrtption 1 and the sound is garbled so I not sure about the encryption in these systems.
Guess the original network was not a standart one, which is kind of strange because what other types of TETRA based systems exist.
Would be glad to figure that one out.

atmel

Air encryption means that encryption is supported by the channel. If it is shared you may have unencrypted data from public transport system and the police use encrypted voice

dextris29

OK, thats explains it.
What gives better results, this new plugin or Telive decoding software?

Jochen brandt

Now i upgraded to win 10, Msys2 still not working. Error on Crypto engine. same as my win 8.1 and win 7. they are all 64bit systems and all have needed dlls. I have 3 computers and and all have the same errors MSYS2 doesnt work. BUT when i install MSYS2 i286, that will work fine without errors, but do not work to the tetra decoder. I really not understand, while the MSYS2 x64 does not work? Am I mad???

Georg

hello, I still have problems with Msys2:
§ startrx
2018/01/31 Time socat [4388] E socket (2, 2, 17): operation not permitted
getaddrinfo returned zero. Operation not permitted.

I copied socat manually into msys2 / var / cache / pacman / pkg, and then run pacman -S socat

what am I doing wrong ?

Oliver

Not working for me same error as Xanax : W8 and W8.1 with 64 bits and a week-end of trials !

Eddy

Not working for me same error as Xanax too…WIn7-64/win8.1-64 and have tried all ways on this page but no lucky.

Jochen brandt

I have 3 Computer with 64bit OS Win8 or 7. i never can install msys2_x86 64 on all 3 computers. Everytime i got much errors, while installing: Fehler: GPGME error: “Ungültige Krypto-Engine
Fehler: GPGME error: Ungültige Krypto-Engine
Fehler: GPGME error: Ungültige Krypto-Engine
Fehler: Datenbank ‘mingw32’ ist nicht gültig (Ungültige oder beschädigte Datenbank (PGP-Signatur))

Fehler: Datenbank ‘msys’ ist nicht gültig (Ungültige oder beschädigte Datenbank (PGP-Signatur))”
(its german).
The msys2_i386 i can install as well without errors, updates worked and install tetra works fine too! There i only have one error when aktivate the decoder: broken pipe.

YV5CVF

So: you need to install:

A 64bits system,

Latest video drivers,

.net3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 4.6, 4.6.1… Windows6.1-KB4019990-x64 before .net4.7. All these only for sure (its windows),
(only if aplicable… win 10 have all)

Vc++ 2015 x86 and 64,

Adjust playback device sample rate to 48k,

In sdrsharp config file (SDRSharp.exe.Config)

Add magic line in Plugins.xml

Copy libtetradec.dll and SDRSharp.Tetra.dll to root directory of sdrsharp

Instal msys2 x86-64!! NEVER l686.

Copy or merge entire content of USR from zip to msys2 root directory

Open msys2 console an type ( connected to inet) pacman -S socat… and let finish

I prefer at this point reboot machine… for shure.

Now to dance:

Open msys2 console and type startrx (and hit enter) Nothing happen for now… don´t panic. its normal.

Open sdrsharp and set NFM and minimun bandwidth to 26khz (26.000) (Each tetra channel is 25khz)

Tune your favorite tetra frecuency and hit demodulator…

If you have follow all steps may work at first try.

I miss something?

YV5CVF

In sdrsharp config file (SDRSharp.exe.Config) modify to

YV5CVF

“add key=”minOutputSampleRate” value=”32000″” modify to “add key=”minOutputSampleRate” value=”32000″”

YV5CVF

“add key=”minOutputSampleRate” value=”48000″” Sorry guys… Web page post system acts strange if “” is present in a post… And no way to edit one… Sorry again Hey Admin God… can you fix this?

Jochen brandt

On 64bit windows system you cannot install vc++ x86, only x64 does!!!

YV5CVF

Yes! you can install x86 version of vc++… i don´t know why bus tetra decoder need both versions. Browse your c: disk an you can see a folder called program files(x86)… this is a 32 bit subsystem built in windows. You can install and run any 32 bit app… look this https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-windows7-vista64-support-32bit-applications.htm . So, install vc++ x86

Georg

“Open msys2 console an type ( connected to inet) pacman -S socat… and let finish”!!!
hello, friends,
unfortunately, I do not have access to the inet. What am I doing wrong?
Message: Couldn’t resolve host’ repo. msys2. org’.
Could file ‘ socat-1………. pkg. tar.xz’ not transferred by repo. msys2. org.
What could be the reason for this?

YV5CVF

You need inet access

GeorgAmplitude

I have an inet access, but msys2 can’t access it. Is it possible to manually integrate “socat” into Msys2, i am a newcomer to Msys2.

Alex

@kikosgc: Yes it plays clear voice if the channel is not encrypted.

Alex

Works like charm on Win 10 64bit.

Jerzy Szymkiewicz

I tried all the ways. The same problem every time. At the end I installed the latest SDR # and everything started working!

stewe

Hello, where did you find the last sdr thanks

Jerzy Szymkiewicz

Hello. https://airspy.com/download/
Ver. 1637.
All attempts turned out to be unnecessary. After downloading this version, everything worked without any problems.

kikosgc

Will it decode voice if there’s no encryption?

bibi95

If your SDRSharp crashes you need to install both VC++ 2015 runtime 32bits and 64bits. If you install only the 64bits version SDR Sharp will crash.

Jochen brandt

you cannot install vcc++ 32bit ond 64bits systems. there i get error message that is impossible, while i have 64bit system.

tetrapol boy

please put this plugin to github or a dedicated website for public access…

atmel

Why can’t you download it from the link? It worked fine for me. You don’t trust the website?

atmel

When I run the startrx command, nothing happens, and I don’t see any TETRA plugin in SDR# (i added the magi ic line to the config file) I guess i probably missed something… but i have no idea what… because I’m the only one to have this problem

atmel

I mean i added the magic line to Plugins.xml

Shehzad

Hi atmel

Please copy the ” SDRSharp.Tetra.dll” and ” libtetradec.dll ” in the SDR sharp folder and then run the SDRsharp.exe

Hopefully you will see the Tetra plugin in SDR#

Regards,

Shehzad

atmel

This is exactly what I did. But like I said, nothing happens. I open MSYS2 with socat installed, then i type “startrx” then… nothing. Then I open SDR# and there’s no plugin…

Shehzad

Hi Atmel

Please confirm the SDR version you are running ?

atmel

I’m running 1583, maybe here is the problem! I’ll try to use the latest version to see if it solves the problem. But this don’t explain why I don’t get anything whe I type “startrx”.

Shehzad

try to download the latest SDR#
startrx window will display the text after the TETRA signals are received in SDR#

atmel

*i get this. By the way it seems that I’m not very good at HTML

atmel

Now it’s working, I set the samplerate to 2.4Msps and it’s much better… but I get no sound. However I get that in the MSYS shell:

TMV-UNITDATA.ind 26/14/3/000 BSCH CRC=1 SYNC
TMV-UNITDATA.ind 26/14/3/000 AACH CRC=1 ACCESS-ASSIGN
ACCESS-ASSIGN PDU: DL_USAGE: Unallocated UL_USAGE: Unallocated

So I guess nobody is connected/talking to this channel. This makes sense because it’s midnight!

Shehzad

Bravo , good job done. I am pleased to know you have success .

But I am still unable to run Tetra plug in below you can see the thread under the name of Shehzad

hopefully you may like to find a solution for me

hope to hear from you soon

Shehzad

Hi All ,
I followed all the instructions indicated in text fil.
BUT when I check ( tick ) Demodulator – The SDR sharp Ver 1633 crashes after 2 or seconds.
I have also pasted the magic line (of text file ) in SDRSharp.exe.Config

The Crash error is shown below – I seek help & guidance from rtlsdr friends .

Try to install the latest vcredist 64 AND 32 bits. Many problems with DLL files come from Visual C++.

atmel

Try installing the latest version of vcredist 32 AND 64 bit

Shehzad

Thank you very much , i reinstalled vcredist 32 AND 64 bit and it worked .
Now I can hear garbled voices

atmel

There may be two reasons if the sound is not good:
1)Channel is encrypted. In this case you will see “Air encryption: 1” in the Msys window
2)RTLSDR might be instable at 3.2Msps I/Q ADC samplerate. Try to reduce the ADC samplerate to 2.4Mspsbor lower and see if it works better
3)You have to be very well centered on the channel and set the bandwidth to about 18KHz

Shehzad

I can see Channel is encrypted. In can see see “Air encryption: 1” in the Msys window
RTLSDR is set at 2.048 Msps I
3)Freq is well centered on the channel and set the bandwidth to about 48KHz
4.) Mode is WFM
5) Tetra plug in doesnt accept NFM
6.) Is there any software to hear encrypted transmission ?

atmel

If the channel is encrypted you can’t listen to the channel. Try to find another channel. (TETRA channels have a charecteristic shape and sound when listening it without the plugin). Also try to set the bandwidth to about the width of the channel like you can see in the capture I linked in another post.

brute force

6> Totally, the encryption used is TEA1, TEA2, TEA3 or possibly even TEA4 which uses a 128 bit key, but probably only 80-bits of which are used actually protect the data. So all you need to do is to brute force roughly an 80-bit key (1208925819614629174706176 possible keys). So if you cycle through each one and validate that the audio is correct, say at the rate of one key per second, it will only take 38308 trillion years to find the right key. And if it actually is using all 128 bits then add an extra 15 zeros to the time required.

But if you feel that you can find a weakness in the algorithm have a look at the original papers documenting the algorithm. I am not saying that there is not a weakness with TEA, just that no one has found one and made that information public.in last quarter of a century.

(TEA1) http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/tea.pdf
(TEA2) http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/xtea.pdf
(TEA3 and TEA4) http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/xxtea.pdf

Shehzad

brute force,
Thanks for explaining in detail. Very good information is explained in easy to understand manner for people like me who are not engineers .

EA5WTF

TETRA Encryption Algorithms (TEAs), these being TEA1, TEA2, TEA3 and TEA 4 are not the same as Tiny Encryption Algorithms.

https://tcca.info/tetra/tetra-security/

brute force

@ EA5WTF
From page 114 on http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/300300_300399/30039207/03.02.00_40/en_30039207v030200o.pdf
There is a Key Stream Generator that is XOR’ed to the plaintext data. And the KSG algorithm(s) are only available under a strictly controlled Non Disclosure Agreement (€$£). The cipher key used for encryption and decryption (uplink and downlink) are still 80-bits, so the difficulty for a non state actor to decrypt will probably be the same for TETRA Encryption Algorithms as Tiny Encryption Algorithms. But yea you are right.

Graham

Having Air Encryption doesn’t necessarily mean you will not hear any voice.. Air Encryption =1 ,means that the network SUPPORTS encryption but each handset needs it enabled also.. I get lots of clear voice on a huge network that has Air Encryption enabled.

veselko

But… is there any program, that you type the key and you can decrypt? I believe i have found out, what the key is…

Stef

hello,
I think i have the same problem like Steve.
Under sdrshap, when I check ” demudulaor in the TETRA plugin I have the message ” IF samplerate to low change modulation type to WFM or set parameter minoutputsample value = 48000 ”
I have check WFM in Sdrsharp and I change the audio sampling settings inside windows from 44100 to 48000 but still the same message, anyone found a solution ?
for information i am in win7 pro 64bit

Pierre

minOutputSampleRate (probably case-sensitive) is a predefined key of a key-value-pair of the SDRSharp config file, SDRSharp.exe.Config. My understanding is that it specifies the IQ Sample Rate that SDRSharp internally delivers to its demodulators.

Stef

hello,I found the line with “minOutputSampleRate”parameter in the sdrsharp.exe.config file .
The old papareter was 32000, i change it to 48000 but still the same message 🙁
for information i m using SdryPlay RSP1

johann

hello, comment how do you make your rsp1 work with sdrsharp?
thank you, Johnn

matrix256

Check in SDR# device settings (RTL-SDR controller -> Device field is not null) that device is connected. If it is shows that device is connected, then press play and after that check TETRA demodulator checkbox. If still same IF samplerate error … eject device and connect it again (possibly to another USB port), check connection and press play.

@Stewe – 44800 is the soundcard sampling rate, change your default audio sampling settings inside windows from 44100 to 48000 and restart audio/computer

stewe

Thanks, I did not understand

Steve

Forgot to mention. W10 64-bit OS and x64 processor 3.2GHz 6 core and 8GB ram

stewe

I changed the sampling rate in the combox option of SDRSHARP I tried up to 2.4 MPS but it always tells me error the frqueza must be at least 48000 you have a solution thanks

Hello. After installing MSYS2 64 and copy those tetra root files into the bin-directory, i typed “pacman -S socat”…. it seems all ok. But when i type startrx, i get error: “/usr/bin/startrx: line 12: socat: command not found
EOF. I tryed to reinstall, but each time the same issue. Someone resolved this?
Jochen

Filip

You need 64 bit OS

Jochen brandt

Filip.. I am using Windows 8 64bit on an intel core i5

Alvaro

Execute
“pacman -S socat”
in the msys2 shell.
Then try again.

Graham

Works great, took all but 2 mins to set up.
I would like to see the devs put this on something like GitHub so others can contribute and open issues etc.

zuru

What am I missing here? I can’t hear a thing as it mutes sdr#! Do I need dsd etc also

cya

It is working I believe. I hear clicks and beeps, distortion, and robot voice stuff, but no normal voice, what is the chance that communication is encrypted?
I see number of channels, 0 dropped frames and rate is arround 40 kB/s
Also on Network info screen first line NETINFO has some data all other are empty.

Graham

That sounds to me like you are hearing encrypted comms.

Jan

In the terminal window you see the raw pdu’s. There is a indication if it’s encrypted.

cya

yep, second line explains it all.
Advanced link: 1
Air encryption: 1
SNDCP data: 1
unknown 0x8: 0
Circuit data: 0
Voice service: 1
Normal mode: 1
Migration supported: 0
Cell never uses minimum mode: 1
Priority cell: 0
De-registration mandatory: 1
Registration mandatory: 1
Tnx anyway but all frq that i was listening to are all encrypted

Bertran

If you see “Air encryption: 0” then the channel is unencrypted. But depending on the country public services like police/fire/ambulance/rescue are typically encrypted and possibly private services like trams or other public transport may not be encrypted.

Graham

Having Air Encryption doesn’t necessarily mean you will not hear any voice.. Air Encryption =1 ,means that the network SUPPORTS encryption but each handset needs it enabled also.. I get lots of clear voice on a huge network that has Air Encryption enabled.

Morg

Is that network in the UK Graham?

sdrresearch

I have two PC running windows 8.1 . One PC runs tetra plugin OK , another PC SDR# crashes when clicks demodulator checkbox. I must install all updates , VC2015 runtime, Dotnet 4.6 ,after that tetra plugin runs ok

kika

Crushes fine )

Jerzy Szymkiewicz

I set WFM and 48000 sample rate and constantly closes SDR # and says: set WFM and minimum 48000 …

Xavier

you must change sample rate in option combox of SDRSHARP try up 2.4 MPS. I had same pb it’s solve by this way, but for the moment i havent no clear speaker,, and in net detail i can read all info upside but nothing in different boxes…

Jerzy Szymkiewicz

Thanks but still the same … I try but I do not know where the error may be. I have a working Wintelive but with this plugin I have a problem 🙁

Xanax

Sure. I tried several diffrent versions : 1583, 1631, 1637

Frank hodge

Will this work ok on windows 10 thanks

Kerteszradio

OK, the download now work, but i seems to unable install to msys2 – under windows. This is another great things which not run under win . . . I give up. Use instead of the skywave linux distro . . .

Graham

User error.. Don’t blame the software.. MSys2 installed fine for me.

Kerteszradio

The download not work for me. Anyone works ?

Steve

3.10.x and 3.11.x both crash as soon as you try to start the RTL-SDR. It runs fine in CubicSDR, HDSDR, SCRConsole, and SDRSharp.
