Unitrunker Decode Problems

[radioman2001]

First off let me say, this is the best program I have worked with to decode data off the air, and I use it daily to monitor 2 systems in my area. Now to my problem, I have Unitrunker 1.0.0.2 installed on my Dell desktop and a Panasonic Toughbook CF-27. On the desktop it work flawlessly, but I cannot get it to work on the Toughbook. I can see data coming in with Uniscope through the mic jack, but when I run Unitrunker, there is no data coming up on the Unitrunker scope tab. I have duplicated all setting between the desk top and Toughbook, but still no data. Any ideas?

Make sure you have the right audio input selected in the Receiver section, and make sure that the input [in your sound card mixer settings for Record] aren't muted and that the proper source is selected.

In the Windows mixer, you can only have one item set as the recording input, or you can have it set to muted.

Also, depending upon the audio input level, you may need to make sure you set the mixer for that input [again on the Record side of the mixer settings] all the way up. And you may even have to enable a 20db boost (if your sound card allows for it).

If it were me I would:

Go to the Record side of the audio mixer and make sure the mic-in or line-in (whichever one you have the discriminator output plugged into) enabled and then set the audio level up all the way on the input. I'd even enable a 20db boost if that option is available.

If you don't see anything on the scope then, then it sounds like you've got a problem you need to work out with the audio input on the toughbook.

I have Unitrunker 1.0.0.2

What version was that again?

On the ? screen it shows 1,0,0,20 copyright 2011

Also why is it that I can see and adjust the incoming level with Uniscope, but do not see the data when selecting the scope in Unitrunker. i think that's the problem.

Please post screenshots of Uniscope and the receiver panel. Don't know why there's nothing in the scope tab. How many different inputs do you have?

 

[radioman2001]

There is only the one MIC input to the computer, I wired the jack for both left and right to one signal source. The signal audio port selections are either Yamaha DS-XG Audio or Microsoft Sound Mapper. I tried both with the same results. Never done screen shots before.

The print screen button (top right on most keyboards) will save an image of your screen to the clipboard. Typing Alt and PrtSc keys will save an image of the active window to the clipboard.

Paste the image into Micrsoft Paint and save as an image file.
