Broadcastify Raspberry Pi Image v3.0 Beta
- Thread starter blantonl
- Start date
I am running the Broadcastify 3.01 image and am unable to edit the Crontab file with Crontab -e. It appears the file is write protected but I have changed all permissions on the pi and root files in /car/spool/cron/crontabs directory.
Any ideas?

SDRtrunk is more computationally intensive. It is barely functional on my Pi 4 while trunk recorder runs with zero issues.
Interesting. I’ve been running SDRtrunk this week on a vacation, and tested sending a stream to the other site and my pi5 hasn’t seemed to have an issue. I could not get trunk recorder to work for the life of me. Even had ChatGPT try to help me make my config file and it kept erroring out.
Update: About 5 hours with ChatGPT and I finally got the config file made. The pitfalls I ran into:
Once I gave it the data from the config readme, things went a lot smoother.
It kept wanting to put a control channel outside of my tuners. I ended up deleting it from the control channel list, and if that is a detriment I will work with it later, but I was having a hard time finding a center freq that would grab all 4 control channels and not error out. I don't want to get a 3rd dongle right now just for 1 control channel that I don't think rotates often.
I tried creating a webhook service to monitor with it also. We kind of got that working. Once again if I had a better understanding of webdevelopment I think I would have made it work.
I think it would be interesting to upload all of the documentation into a NotebookLM and see if that works better. I don't have access to it for personal use through.

Last update, learning to code some now with this, and with AI have been able to create some neat stuff. I get a telegram alert when the trunk recorder goes up or down, a status update with average cpu usage, uptime, and disk usage every two hours during the day. Also a call log I can open in HTML that rotates daily. and a telegram message if a call is started with the emergency flag as true.
