Yes by using SDR# is doing no favor to self - that s/w has a great purpose but not as a DSD+ (effective) companion. Sure it works at the very lowest levels but why when you have the ideal at your finger tips? Just sayin' :)

This lists about all the SDR software there is. https://www.rtl-sdr.com/big-list-rtl-sdr-supported-software/ I have tried about 99% of them Linux and Windows - that part is a hobby by itself - making stuff work LOL

Not as a replacement for either but you may want to check out HDSDR to add to your collection https://www.rtl-sdr.com/hdsdr-version-2-80-beta-released/

Curious - what program came with the unit?

The program records files... if you ask it to! If you don't ask it to.... it will not! If you tell it not to... then it won't! The notes txt explains all.... All choices are your choices.

Linux Mint 19.3 - done, done and done. Native and Vbox... SOLID!

Same here - roll back to 2,242 then update 245 download fails.

Yes I expect so since the email addy is no longer associated/shown in DSD+ startup. I expect that is a concern. I wish they would add an option to keep the siteloader window open until the user closes it.

AMEN!!!! The DSD+ plugins do NOT work!!!! (There are 2 and they both suck). If you HAVE to use SDR# - VBCable - DSD+ then just set audio out to VB Cable in SDR# and forget about the plugin. Plumbers nightmare. Use FMPx with DSD+ it is designed to work PROPERLY!

WELL worth the effort on those systems - it works brilliantly for me. My goto SW for Ontario Fleetnet

The little antenna is woeful especially if it is not positioned somewhere to receive. All the $$$ and top equipment are door stops unless they are fed robust signals. My guess is you need to think about an upgrade for your antenna system.

The software manages the dongles automatically as a collective resource. In general you would need 2 dongles to cover a P25 phase 1or 2 trunk. If you add more dongles they are available in the dongle pool as needed on demand. I monitor 2 or 3 simultaneously and have 4 dongles for the resource...

I am by no means making any kind of a recommendation - I am all set myself both in Linux and Win10 sw options and even portability, Mostly because of options highlighted by contributors of this forum who have always been extremely helpful to me and why I now have all options available and...

OP25 is fantastic but there is way more than P25 and DMR to decode - no?

Here is an old thread about it but not the one I spoke of above. https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/dust-of-that-old-netbook.395386/

The folk I saw discussing it (and I don't remember the thread) spoke about some sort of Acer Win10 tablet with detachable touch screen but the magic was it had 2 full size USB ports. He was running single dongle DSD+ on it with no prob. I believe it was a sub $200 unit because I remember looking...

I tried that install - it was a disaster. Adding the plugs you actually need and using the un-skinned version worked nicely for me. I actually have several folders with SDR# each set for a specific purpose - 2 with only the single plug for a specific purpose (as an example) saves having to...

If your PPM is way off then this does not apply. They probably rotate the control channel. This means trying the others until DSD+ tells you it is the CC. Once you have run it DSD+ will remember the frequencies and rotate through them until it hits the CC the next time you launch. If you are...

Many prefer to use the built in menu system - I get that, but having both command line or built in menu system like DSD+ is useful. If everyone had the same radio equipment and OS configuration it would be easier for sure. Many stick with a single purpose hardware platform like a scanner - it...

I am sorry you did not find my help - helpful. Passing variables to a program on a command line is very standard, many of us appreciate the flexibility that offers for different purposes- if that is a challenge then just run the program and set the variables from the provided menu bar. Good...
