I am hearing activity on the North group using tge Jpole/Dongle but not everything.
Off to bed and try it again tomorrow.

Next question is if I am "playing" the North group, why do I see freq displayed and traffic on them from other groups? I would think that I would only copy the 5 freqs that I have entered for the North group (or is that where the C4FM or LCM settings come into play?).

I have noticed this in the terminal window activity. Not sure if it is something I should be concerned with or not.

Doesn’t sound right but honestly never watched the frequencies cycle through and checked them.

You need to select LSM modulation for any of these sites.

No problem … it’s looking to load lib for a dongle you don’t have.

Thanks for all your assistance. I have been playing with all the 4 groups and from where I am with the jpole outside antenna and the larger dipole antenna that came with the RT-SDR blog dongle, I am only able to get lock and signal on the north group. I get no traffic from the south/west/central groups. So I will just have to listen to the north and go with that until I get back home to York New Salem and play with it then and see what activity I get then.
Thanks again!

Another question. I am guessing that the only way to lock the sw onto one specific talkgroup would be to mute all the other talkgroups and just leave the one set to listen that I am interested in hearing (or 2 if I set the audio to stereo)?
I will eventually get this figured out! lol.

With just SDRtrunk you are limited. Record everything in SDRtrunk and use rdio-scanner to listen to the recorded files. This will give you the type of control you want.

Are there other sw packages out there that are a good or better than this one?
