Ah. In that case, it would not have anything to do with how fast a talk group is "picked up." Frequency Rotation in SDRTrunk-speak means how fast the program cycles through the control channel list when the program searches for the system's active control channel.

Are they a setting for that
The Frequency Rotation setting is used when SDRTrunk is searching for the control channel. It will cycle through each frequency in the list of frequencies until it finds the active control channel. (Remember there is only one active control channel for each site). If you are receiving a weak signal or your ppm is off, it may need more time to detect it. If the "Now Playing" tab shows that you are staying locked on the control channel, there should be no need to adjust this setting
The Frequency Rotation setting does not have anything to do with how fast it picks up a talkgroup.
<edit> Sorry - did not see previous response.
I got another Airspy to use on another laptop but SDRTrunk isn't working right the Airspy on my main laptop sdrtrunk works so I put in on the other laptop still the same but the rtl-sdr works what could be wrong
I just thought do I need to install software or plugins for Airspy to work properly with SDRtrunk if so where do I find them
Plugins or other software are not needed for Airspy to work with SDRTrunk.
Please describe what is/is not working with the Airspy on SDRTrunk. There is not a lot to go on here....
On the tune it has Rtl-sdr but the Airspy has error in red and the signal looks smeared and scattered I turned up and down on the sensitivy didn't help on the playing has idle and the sdrtrunk closes when I switched to my main pc it worked fine then the one from my main pc to the other one and it did the same and tried different ports but it works with unitrunker but not sdrtrunk
The screenshots show a USB error - transfer buffers exceeded. It is likely that the USB port you are using does not have enough bandwidth.
The first step is to try connecting to other USB ports on the computer. (You will need to restart SDRtrunk after swapping ports.)
Would I need a high speed 4 port usb 3.0
How are you currently connecting your devices? Are they directly connected to the pc? Are you using a hub? What devices share the same hub? How many usb ports does your pc have?
Have you tried connecting the airspy to another usb port?
It's connected to a hub with a rtl sdr and tried another hub but the rtl sdr works fine

Have you tried connecting the airspy to a different usb port on the pc than the port the rtl-sdr is using?
Should I disconnect the rtl sdr
You can try that. That will reduce the amount of data being sent over USB.
That's what it was
Now - instead of plugging the rtlsdr back into the hub, plug it into an unused usb port on the computer (or into another hub connected to an unused port).
