[belvdr]

Running 0.6.1 Beta 1 with an AirSpy R2. I noticed I am getting audio from every talkgroup on the system. The audio shows no alias name.

In debugging, I ensured I have no alias with a talkgroup range. I turned off the listen parameter for every TG in my alias list. Now, I no longer get audio from TGs in my alias list, but get it from everything else.

What am I missing?

EDIT: I also note that SDRtrunk uses 15% CPU when nothing is even being played. @DSheirer

 

[dave3825]

How exactly are you getting audio? From the speaker output of SDRT (listen) or recordings in Trunking Recorder? I am running that version and it only plays what it's told to and the same with recording. I have listen set to off for everything. I only have record set to what I want recorded. That aspect is performing properly for me.

If you launch the last version you ran prior to this one, does the issue present it self? If so then something might be up with your playlist.

Just via "Listen" in SDRtrunk. I don't have the previous version, but I'll need to investigate. It's good to hear yours is working properly, so it doesn't sound like a bug.

I think I did have a wildcard range added at one time but removed it. I wonder if that wasn't completely removed.

I had a few odd issues lately, and one was I had to completely rebuild the entire alias list, then re-configure all the streams to use the new list. I also had an issue upgrading where I had to completely delete the whole folder (move it to an "old" folder) instead of overwriting in order for the update to work.

You may need to spend some time recompiling. I have noticed no issues since I updated earlier this week.

You say your CPU is at 15% even when something isn't being played. But as long as you have the tuner enabled / system trunking started, you not only have the overhead of SDRTrunk but also [and importantly] the overhead of a likely 10 MSPS Airspy R2 active USB connection. One cannot underestimate the cycles used to bring in 10 MSPS of data over USB. That figure doesn't seem unrealistic at all.

I have not had any such issue when I migrated from any 6 version to any 6 version. Historically, I always copy my c:\users\username\SDRTrunk folder to a backup before I run a new version just in case.

True but even without any SDR connected, it uses 15% (ish). With an SDR listening, it goes to 20%, so it makes me curious what it is doing.

Interesting.

Mine uses 3% just open, not running, on an i5-4570 (4 cores, no HT, 11 year old CPU, average CPUMark 5222, single thread rating 2035). If it's running (monitoring two P25 control channels, no voice traffic occurring) it's about 40%. I'm running Win10, not Linux, so YMMV.

Waterfall off? Running about 40calls/min I'm seeing 2GB memory used and about 38% CPU usage on a windows 10 I-7 quad core @ 3.6GHz. Waterfall grabs another 15% and things slow way down.

I imagine that question was for belvdr. But in case it wasn't, for me the waterfall is always off. I don't record. I listen locally and upload to BCFY Calls. No logging enabled. That's a good point about the waterfall though. I didn't pay attention recently to what type of CPU hit the waterfall incurs, but I'm sure it's significant -- which is why I turned it off long ago).

If your on windows why are you overwriting? I always just download and unzip the latest version to my c drive and copy the sdrtrunk.bat to my desktop and rename it to match the version. Then if the new version has issues, just close and start the prior version.

No waterfall. I never use it.

Strangely enough, the memory indicator keeps climbing, then resets. My processor is a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700.

I do have power management turned on, however, that wouldn't cause SDRtrunk to sit there and use CPU. Logs show nothing of concern. It's probably something to do with the kernel I'm running or similar, as I'm on Arch, a rolling release:

[belvdr]

Removed my entire config and restarted v0.6.1-beta1. No tuner attached and CPU is still 15-17%.

 

[Jphila20]

I checked my setup just to compare. I'm running 3 SDR's. One is for SDRTrunk and 2 for Unitrunker.

CPU Base 4.01GHz, 2 cores, 4 logical and 12GB Ram.

With both running here what I have 17% CPU with 5.6 Ram used.

 

[KE0VUL]

Switched to a SDRPlay RSP1B with 10 MSPS(v0.6.1-beta1). I wanted to go with a single directional antenna to get signal stability. The overhead was so much that I had to switch from a Proxmox VM back to bare metal. Could be the USB passthrough, efficiency cores, bus issue, who knows?..

Easily using around 20% of a i5-4950(Debian/Linux) monitoring a control channel with 1 talk group active. Spikes to 50% CPU usage with the waterfall. I've got 3 SDRs still hooked up to the VM host (NUC 13 with a i5-1340p, 64GB ram) and that's stable doing the same task. Clear audio and P25 data(TGs and UIDs) on both with the differed setups.

 

[jimmid]

I am using SdrTrunk v0.6.1 and I am monitoring a single channel P25 phase 1 (non Trunked) and a conventional NBFM channel. Broadcastify now lets you stream conventional channels. Is there anything specific you have to do in SdrTrunk to stream these to Broadcastify?

 

[graphton]

If your hearing "Non Alias Traffic" I had the same issue. When you create the Channel from Radio Reference it gives you everything in that frequency range. You have to add ALL the talkgroups to the Alias and then "Mute" them in the alias list. Then you will see the other agency alias popup but you will not hear them. I hope I am speaking to your issue!

 

[kd4e]

2 Items:
1. I'm getting a "java heap space" error - that's freezing sdrtrunk on my RaspberryPi 4b (8g) - but the string that I found to increase what may be a 2g setting (too small) to 4g or 6g or whatever, isn't recognized (JMBE doesn't seem to include java tools). How is that fixed, please?
2. How do I upgrade 0.6.0 to 0.6.1 (beta) since it may fix the problem? (I'm not finding instructions anywhere. Do I download the 0.6.1 .zip and unzip it - and it will overwrite 0.6.0? Or ... " Thanks!

 

[Jphila20]

When I have undated versions it usually just replaces the old with the new and keeps your settings.
