I thought about using .NET (actually I ported the capture app to C# first), but the .NET framework doesn't have any built-in support for audio capture on the level you need for a Trunker-like application. In order for a .NET/Mono version of the app to run on multiple platforms you would need to include wrappers for the platform's native audio capture functions, while the JavaSound API works across all platforms. This allows the app to be packaged as a single executable JAR file that will run on any platform that has the latest Java runtime and a soundcard.poltergeisty said:

All my gazillion votes for a Mac version! 
I got quite a bit done this past weekend. I'll post some screenshots when I get home. I'm hoping for a beta release with Motorola and EDACS decoding late this week or early next week.William said:
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
As you may have seen in my other active thread, I'm having a heck of a time getting Etrunker running on a PC. So I am anxiously awaiting your release while I continue to work on the PC version.

Yes, I run linux on my personal box.
Send me an e-mail if you are interested in help with the effort.

Sorry I didn't get this up here yesterday. This shows the empty environment with no system loaded. As you can see, it's very similar to the T4Win interface, but there are some significant changes. For example, the Channels, Groups, and Subscribers tabs have grids that let you type directly into the cells instead of into text boxes below the grid (alothough this isn't fully implemented at the moment), and the System Manager shows sites as nodes under the parent system. The screenshot was taken on Saturday, before everything was wired up with the new GUI.
I'll try to get to a point where I can get some decent screenshots of the program actually running, but you can get a general idea of what it looks like from this one. I still have a bunch to do before I can release it, and it looks like I won't get to that point until next week since I've been slammed at work.

IE: Is there an operational state??? :lol: (Nothing to do with transistors)
Finally 1,286 today! :lol:

Where are we on this? I bet a lot of people are getting anxious.
Looks like another piece of software that is now dead.
Decoding from Java (or .NET) is a bit of a challenge - particularly if you don't like applications that devour 90-100% of your CPU. My understanding is currently the decoding "cost" is around 30-40% while the display cost is another 30-40%. Putting the two together to create a useful program results in a very sluggish experience for the end user.mikea7531 said:
Trimming both pieces down to the 20-30% range should yield a useful (and portable) result. This will take some effort. Don't give up hope.
frmobile,
Thanks for the continued interest.
I thought mrf1022 was working on this application? Are you the one developing it? You've done so much other nice work with Unitrunker and your other projects it would be great to hear you are working on this.
We just haven't heard much from mrf1022 lately.
I know everyone does all this development on their own time so I appreciate any work you guys do.
Thanks again for the continued interest.

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to leave you hanging. This project was put on hold for a while due to major things going on at work. I am now back to working on this in my spare time. I am not going to release the version that the screenshot is from, as that used SWING for the UI and after looking at some other options I'll be using the SWT framework for the IU so it's less of a memory hog. The short of this is that I'm doing a complete rewrite to make this usable on most computers. The previous version was a complete resource hog and honestly was more of an experiment.
