Getting Started With Rdio-Scanner And The P25RX/P25RX-II

As of 06-03-22, the BTCFG-II and BTConfig software has an option on the PC Audio tab to enable Rdio-Scanner support. This option will generate audio wav files in your home_dir/p25rx/0x_mac_id/rdio_dirwatch folder. The Rdio-Scanner server software can then be configured to monitor this folder for the audio files to ingest and serve up over the network to client browser, or Android / Apple phone apps.
