TETRA decoding on Windows!
To capture the signals I was using an RTL SDR which is a very cheap device that allows you to tune to a wide range of frequencies. If you look carefully in the results in the link, you can find them for less than £10/$12. You can find one to buy at this link:

The audio on this TETRA system is often not very good. I'm not sure of the exact reason for this but it sounds like they have the mic gain set to a fixed value rather than using AGC, so their voices are often way too loud or way too quiet. I don't know why they would do this. Maybe the radios they use aren't able to do AGC, in which case they must not be very good radios. I had to adjust the audio gain in this clip to reduce the volume of some radio users and increase the volume of others.
Please don't comment asking me for help on running this software. It is not as difficult to set up as the linux version, but it is still relatively difficult compared to running an average windows program. If you can't figure it out yourself by following the instructions provided with the program, then forget it. The software is only a work in progress. It is not guaranteed to work for you.
