sdrtrunk - Parking or Delay on active frequency

Hi guys,
Ain't sure if that's possible but here it is:
When I have Playlist with multiple frequencies There's a "Frequency Rotation Delay" value. I f I got it right it means how long will the software try to detect signal on that frequency and if nothing is there it will jump to the next freq.
However - in many cases after a signal is found and heard the software jumps to the next value since there's a recess between sentences.
I guess I could increase the rotation delay but that's not the right solution.....
Is there a way to set specific Delay/Hold that will 'lock' the tuner to that same frequency after signal is ended and only after that scanning will continue ?

Thanks

The frequency rotation only occurs if it fails to lock onto, and decode the control channel.

Yes, its how many milliseconds it sees to detect an active control channel.

However - in many cases after a signal is found and heard the software jumps to the next value since there's a recess between sentences.

Click your tuners tab and see what the PPM (measured error) is and adjust if necessary. You want it as close to 0.0 as you can get it.

Also check your Now Playing, Active Control Channel, Messages and see if you have any sync loss.

Sdrtrunk locks on the active control channel. If you were to hold on that and it changes, which they can do, you would not advance to the next one and your tuner would sit in an idle state.

How did you set the system up? Phase1 or Phase 2?



Are these frequencies for a trunked system? Or are you trying to listen to conventional frequencies?
Pretty sure the rotation delay is only available on trunked systems. It does not show on any of my conventional channels.

I think what you are wanting to do would be better accomplished if you streamed from SDR-Trunk to Rdio Scanner. SDR-Trunk isn’t scanning frequencies like a scanner. You can listen to two different aliases at the same time Left and Right channels and you can prioritize which get played back.
