I want to consolidate my broadcastify feeds to one PC. I currently use 2 RTL-SDR v4 for DMR to pick up 2 DMR con+ sites on one PC and 1 SDR-RTL v4 to pick up 3 P25 frequencies on a different PC. all frequencies are from 424mhz to 468mhz.

I am thinking I just move the 3 dongles and set everything up under a single instance of sdrtrunk. Is that logic correct or is there a better way? even if it involves different SDR hardware.

Let me know!

It should work. I run 2 P25 Trunked systems, 12 conventional systems 8 of which are P25, and 2 DMR systems on 6 sdr-rtl v3s. A lot will depend on the bandwidth of your usb ports. I run 5 of the sdr's on a powered hub, and the 6th on a separate usb port.

All on a 10 year old laptop, running Windows 10 with 12gb of ram, which is dedicated to just SDRTrunk and my Broadcastify feed.

2 P25 Trunked System, one with 2 sites, another with 8-12 sites depending on signal conditions. 5 DMR systems, around 10 conventional analog channels, and 6 air band channels. All of this spread across 4 AirSpy R2's and 1 AirSpy Mini. I tried 5 R2's but this was maxing out my CPU capability. The 16GB of RAM seems to be handling it all ok for SDRTrunk.
