We're looking to pipe two radio channels into our camera VMS. These are our channels, so permission is not a problem.
I got an RTL-SDR Blog v4 to play with, got it working on my laptop quite nicely with SDRTrunk. Until I discovered that I cannot control specifically which radio channel goes to which stereo output. Ultimately we need to keep one frequency on the left output and one frequency on the right output, so the recording on the VMS can match where it is supposed to for review purposes.
Ultimately we can run this on just about anything. Windows or Linux, I can get a small PC for it. There's some surplus RPi3b+ units kicking around I could probably use. There's even some Chromeboxes that might work if that's a thing (I doubt it thought). I'm ok with headless remote control as well. Just need to be able to put in the two NBFM frequencies and go, ideally. That's the bare minimum requirement. No scanning or talkgroups required.
Something that can utilize the DPL squelching would be a plus since we don't necessarily need the repeater ID morse code or whatever other interference might show up. The second plus would be an ability to decode MDC1200 hex for radio ID purposes and push this out via an HTTP Push or Get request so we can display the radio IDs on the appropriate video recordings, but that's probably the lowest priority request out of all of this.
I know there's a bunch of options out there but I don't have the time to download and install each one individually just to see if I can split the frequencies up this way. I'm hoping someone might already know which ones can do this and point me in the right direction.
