The third party SDR# plugins are frequently broken with each update of SDR#. The SDR# team changes the API (which breaks compatibility) to support some new feature. This leaves the persons that published these plugins with a small mess to clean up. To run SDR# with a trunking plugin, you'll need to either (a) get an updated plugin or rollback SDR# to a compatible version.

Since you were brave enough to download the preview version of Unitrunker, you may be able to side-step the mess above. Try these instructions.

Tyler Watthanaphand also published a Youtube video of an earlier preview version.

That sounds like a crappy API. Typically when you develop an API. Once you have your base line features set in stone, adding new API calls should not impact the existing set up API calls people use.

That hasn't happened yet.

SDR# is still evolving. New ideas lead to new ways of organizing data. The old pattern doesn't work anymore. The plug-ins bundled with SDR# get updated but the third party ones don't.

Eventually it will settle down.

Try getting Windows 98 drivers to work on Windows XP. Try installing Windows XP drivers on Windows 8. It's the same problem. To get the new shiny thing, we often have to leave something behind (or wait for vendors to catch up). I have USB to serial adapters that won't work on Windows 8 - and will likely never work.

Right now - if you have a working SDR# installation with third party plug-ins, you have to understand that each time you upgrade - some of those plugins might stop working.

Personally, I'd rather see the SDR# team continue to innovate. If someone decides to publish a third-party plug-in, they need to realize the commitment it takes to track changes and release updates. So ... someone please poke Zefie with a (metaphorical) stick ...

No it isn't. This particular change was for the better. Wouldn't it be nice to have such foresight? Sometimes proof of concept apps turn into something much greater than they could have ever planned for. I'm sure this is the case here...
