I've been wondering for a while if there is a way to have just the active call showing in a specific window, and also a file that can be read by other programs?

In terms of the window display, the main site I monitor, has a Channel activity window that is about 40 rows in size, and a lot of traffic that is ENC or prioritied- out, so it can take a moment to locate the active call. Add to that, a second site running at the same time...
Thoughts I've had is a dedicated window essentially showing the same as what the channel window shows, or having active call shown at the top of the channel window?
I have a vague memory of this being the case a long time ago, but that may have been when running Unitrunker and just DSDPlus to handle voice, back when we first went digital.

In terms of a file/data output - I run Radiofeed at home so I can listen quickly on my phone or another device away from my office. It can monitor certain file types, or a window caption to provide metadata to the feed. Other tools like NodeRed, or a MQTT server could use json and be parsed to different display options also.

Something others may have considered, or already have a solution to?

Are you using 1 or 2 dongles? I run single dongle and mine shows the active call.

It shows the active call within the channel activity window, but where it shows up moves around based on which voice channel has been allocated, so the visual location moves around a lot. On a busy system, there are also a lot of other calls showing on the site and moving around.

On another site I monitor where there are only 6 channels on the site, it’s not a big deal. However still see value in a way to show the active call details in a static location
