SDR Sharp Unitrunker Plugin Instructions Issue?

[CanesFan95]

This web page has a long list of plugins for SDR Sharp, including one for Unitrunker. The Unitrunker plugin instructions are:

1) Extract SDRSharp.Trunker.dll to your SDRSharp install folder

2) Extract Remote.dll to the folder that contains Unitrunker.xml (May be in %APPDATA%, or in the Unitrunker folder)

3) Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2012.1 x86 Edition (even if you have a 64-bit machine)
Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 from Official Microsoft Download Center

4) Open SDRSharp.exe.Config and find the line "<sharpPlugins>"

5) After the line "<sharpPlugins>", but before "</sharpPlugins>", add this line:
<add key="Trunker" value="SDRSharp.Trunker.TrunkerPlugin, SDRSharp.Trunker" />

6) Save and close SDRSharp.exe.Config

7) Follow the guide at SDRSharp UniTrunker Support

Notes:
Optimized for SDRSharp Rev 1133, but should work with older versions.
Only tested with rev1133 and rev1132.

The part I'm stuck on is step # 4 & 5. It says to find find the line <sharpPlugins>, but I'm not finding this in SDRSharp.exe.Config anywhere. Does anyone on here know what to do? Thanks.

Unitrunker is capable of controlling two RTL sticks simultaneously nowadays so you don't actually need SDR# to use it for trunk tracking monitoring purposes, but that's another thread altogether. I don't use SDR# + Unitrunker and haven't for a long time (meaning not together) so perhaps someone else will help in answering your direct question, I just figured I'd mention the tidbit about Unitrunker basically being capable of "standalone" trunk tracking operation nowadays because not a lot of people are aware of that.

There are a bunch of guides for setting up SDR# + Unitrunker out there, some of them are rather old nowadays and don't account for the fact that Unitrunker can be a standalone tool either.

And for the record, at the moment I can't explain how to use Unitrunker to control two RTL sticks for trunk tracking monitoring either, that's something I still need to do for myself to get the workflow understood but I'm sure there are others who'll chime in on this, perhaps even Rick himself.

Okay, thanks. I've got 2 sticks and might just use Unitrunker only then.

Those instructions are outdated. <sharpPlugins> is now in file Plugins.xml

I still use SDRSharp with Unitrunker because I get poor digital voice decoding without it.
