Hi all,

I've been experimenting with SDRTrunk, and I've gotten it to work all of once. When I first installed it and got it set up with an Airspy R2, it was successfully decoding the P25 Phase 1 system I was trying it out with. However, I think I tweaked something somewhere, and it now refuses to decode anything (on any system), giving a nearly-endless stream of "Sync Loss" messages. Occasionally, there will be a message that pops up among the sync losses, but it shows a NAC that doesn't match up with the system that should be showing at that frequency (or any of the P25s in my area, actually).

I thought that maybe if I did a clean reinstall, I might be able to get it up and running again. However, even though I delete the application folder, and the SDRTrunk folder in my User/Application Data directory, it's still showing remnants of the previous installation (like, remembering my RadioReference credentials for example). I've done the Google searches, and everything that I've located to date indicates that deleting what I'm deleting should do the trick, but there's still clearly something stored somewhere.

Any advice would be appreciated!

All the best,
J

If you're willing to allow someone (like me) to remote into your computer while you are controlling it AND you are running Windows, I'd attempt to help you.

Either your USB subsystem is having difficulties keeping up with the Airspy, or your PPM adjustment is off on your tuner (Airspys are usaully pretty close and don't often need PPM adjustment). If your PPM adjustment is off, the Airspy isn't tuned to the center of the frequency and you'll get bad decodes.

private message me if you'd like some help.

A few basic questions need to be answered to help direct you to a solution. What system / site are you trying to monitor? Screenshots of your configuration will help, specifically the view of the Tuners tab with the Airspy highlighted (selected). If you are attempting to monitor the Cary/Wake system, one Airspy will do; if you are trying to monitor the NC VIPER sites in Wake Co, you might need two Airspy - one for 700 MHz sites, and one for 800 MHz sites.
