I've been dabbling in this area with a friend and this+trunk-recorder looks amazing.

The other solutions we ran across (Unitrunker, DSDPlus) are all built on rickety virtual audio cables running in Windows. They _work_, but just barely and are very brittle.



This works well; at least version 2 when I last tried it in the fall:

Something trunk-recorder does that sdrtrunk doesn't (appear) to do is work with multiple radios simultaneously. Each cheap SDR is only capable of receiving like 2MHz at a time, but if I combine like 6 of em I can cover most of the local trunked emergency radio system


Actually sdrtrunk does claim to support multiple dongles, though I have not verified the functionality. I tried it with an Airspy (10 MHz BW) so I did not need the multiple SDR support.


Are you saying 6 is all you need for most locales? Or that is the case in your area?


sorry, should have been more clear. 6 was what I need for my area.
