rtl dongle

I have SDRTrunk 0.6.0 beta 2 and it keeps telling me that it's not compatible even though apparently from the few forum posts about this that I read, they all say it's compatible, but the software begs to differ. Should I just return my SDR for any older one or is there a proper fix?

Hi all, I've done a lot of searching to find any resolutions to a similar issue but am still having problems using Unitrunker and my two new RTL-SDR dongles (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011HVUEME?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details) to run as both a Fixed and as a Scanner. While running this...

I am new to the SDR hobby. On the positive note, I am able to listen/decode Seattle King County/ValleyCom Simulcast (Motorola Type II SmartZone) in Auburn using UNITRUNKER software. When I switch to the SDRTRUNK, (in hopes of perhaps having more control over what talk groups I listen to) all I...

I was wondering if anyone on this forum has created a All-in-One scanner using a Raspberry Pi and SDR dongle (R820T2). I've been researching this solution and would like to share lessons learned.
