"Why would I want GenSPOut?"
Have you ever had a creative idea that had to do with your radio system, but could not think of a way to make it come to life? You figured that it would take Motorola three years to make it. You might do it yourself, but you were not sure where to start. GenSPOut is kind of like a Swiss Army Knife in these situations. Here are some examples of applications:

• Send data about ONLY a selected Talkgroup to a printer, display, voice recorder or database.
• Send data about ONLY calls that happen on a selected channel or channels to a printer, screen, voice recorder or database.
• Filter out all of the extraneous Control Channel of ATIA data and send the core call information to a voice recorder or database that is attached to your system.
• You have a CAD system and you want to get radio ID and radio call information into that CAD system.
• You want to create a giant display in your Dispatch Center that only displays when certain people turn their radios on (Affiliate).
• The list can go on and on!

P25 Data via the CAI (Control Channel)

P25 Data via the ATIA

"What are the pieces I need for a P25 System?"

For recorder applications, the only way to pick up audio is via LORI cards(expensive) or by having dedicated radios for each Talkgroup that you want to monitor and record. While this sounds expensive, it is cheaper than LORI cards. There are advantages and disadvantages to this method. An advantage is that you are recording the audio that is actually going over the air. Downside is that you WILL miss audio that is not Talkgroup based, like Private Conversation.

Here's what you supply for each method:

"Can a single GenSPOut do multiple things?"
Absolutely. Look at the image to the right (click on it to enlarge it). That's a very basic view of how it works. Inside the GenSPOut setup, you establish each output (that's the 3 pipes flowing downward). You can have up to 16 outputs (we charge less for fewer outputs) in our current GenSPOut. Then, you create the filters for each of the outputs. This allows you to restrict WHAT goes out of each filter and what it LOOKS LIKE.

You may have a device, like a console, that wants discrete data about one Talkgroup on individual COM ports. We can do that too!

"What data can I get from the Control Channel or ATIA data stream?"
There is no limit to what data you can filter on or what data you can send. If you click on the image to the right, you can see the list of call types and data that you can send to your device. You can also filter the output by any one of these criteria.
