Multiple channels with SDR sharp

[waterrat]

I finally got sdr sharp up and running with dsd+. I am getting good audio but I cant figure out how to monitor more than 1 channel. I tried to download a scanner plug in for sdr but it corrupted my program and I had to start over. I am listening to a nxdn system that seems to switch between just 2 channels. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

SDR# is scanning all of your channels. It may seem like it is scanning only two channels - this threw me off at first, too. Take a look at page 12 of the user manual for the plug-in and it will explain why it displays those two frequencies.

If you want to verify what the scanner plug-in is doing, click on the tiny wrench icon (just above the Scan Frequencies tab). A window titled Scanner Configuration will open. Select the Rules tab. One of the last options in the check list is "Show scanner decisions in a separate window". Check that box, then close the Scanner Configuration dialog box. Click the Scan button again. It will begin scanning and a window will open showing you which channels it is scanning. You will see that it is indeed scanning all of the channels in your selected group(s).

Woo hoo, finally got it up and scanning. I had a bad scanner plug in file. Deleted it, downloaded a new one and im off and running

There are at least two scanner plug-ins as well as the AUX VFO plug-in which allows simultaneous monitoring of more than one channel. You can get that plug-in here:
Aux VFO

What is unique about this plug-in is that you can add the magic line multiple times for how many VFOs you want.
