To jpryor and edmscan ...
Please provide a decode log that spans the time that these bogus channels appeared.
edmscan - same goes for you.
Clearing bogus channels is incredibly easy (described in step #1 below). This has a short term benefit of addressing your immediate needs. Make sure you are not the source of bad data. Exercise care when switching your signal receiver from one site to another.
1. On the channels tab, sort the channels by hit count or First Seen time stamp. Valid channels will be much older and tend to have a higher hit count. Delete the channels you know do not belong.
2. Turn on decode logging and go about your day.
3. Check the site window periodically for any bogus channels. Make note of the First Seen time stamp of these channels.
4. Please email any *decode* logs that span that point in time.
Review the following to make sure you've enabled decode logging and not site logs or tuner logging.

I hope you don't mind my tasking you with catching this in a decode log. I can't see what you see.jpryor said:

No problem Rick .. consider it done. It has been very stable tonight .. but earlier today I know the Harris radio techs were here .. and that may have contributed / caused the issues. But it was not only today .. but I have disabled my backup for now while I test and will just let it do its thing.

Once I figure out how to use the WIX installer I guess I'll upgrade! 
You don't need to, it's like pretty much every other installer you have seen before. The changes are more in the background, I think.

Thanks for the update
Hi Rick. This is great software. I have been having problems with the "mixing"of systems, which i think your latest update addresses. I should know within a week or 2.
I'm using a BCT15X as the voice receiver. In the previous version (1.0.29) when I started the 15X, it's window would show what frequency the radio was on when it started. When commanded, it would move to a voice channel on which it would then "park"until the next command came along. In the parked state, it would show the frequency on which it was parked. Using the same set-up values, the parked frequency now shows as 0.00 and it doesn't pick up the initial 15X frequency on start-up.
In the "control" section of the 15X setup I have entered 0.000 as the Park frequency, the same as I used for the previous version.
Any ideas? It's useful to know what the park frequency is.

I just updated to the new hotfix release and have got it working with two RTL-SDR dongles. The trunktracking and decoding parts of the program are working perfectly.
My trouble is that I am unable to import Trunker data into Unitrunker. I use the "Import Data" diskette symbol, select Trunker in the upper menu and drill into the \trunker directory on my drive, then select the appropriate sys.txt file and click OK. The import window closes and nothing else happens. When I examine the various tabs for the system, none of my data appear there. Not even the system label from my sys.txt file.

The logic changed slightly to be consistent across models. You'll have to choose and set a park frequency. At the end of each call, the '15X will move back to that frequency. With your current park frequency of zero, the step of returning to the park channel failed.
We had this same conversation a few versions back. You should be able to upgrade while retaining your previously imported data. It shouldn't be necessary to repeat this process with each upgrade.davenf2g said:
I'll run through the import to see what I can find. As I've said previously, this feature does not see much use so it doesn't get tested with each release.

My previously imported data are way out of date. I've run Trunker, Etrunker and particularly LTRTrunker quite a lot since the last time I did anything with Unitrunker, so there are a lot of changes.
Does anyone have any thoughts .. running the latest version and my control channel refuses to move. It only is right when I start the program.
Using a PSR500 as a signal source but no voice following.
Monitoring an Edacs system. I know Rick .. Edacs. ;-)

Sorry.. Mine moves fine, but is not correct when I start the program.... Motorola.
Thanks, that is weird. My friend on the same system and radio .. his works fine. But he is running an older version of Unitrunker (29.5 I believe). I even tried his Unitrunker files .. and no go.
Oh .. and Rick if you read this,my issues with the magical adding of the LCN's is fine. It was the "Harris Technicians" messing with our system and mostly only my site as my friends Unitrunker across town was fine. My Unitrunker has been fine .. with nothing out of the ordinary except as below. But the control channel not moving and the flaky audio alerts is still an issue (I imagine this is due to activity).

What is "Chase" on your receiver window set to?
Chase is off .. and if I recall Rick said that it had no effect on the PSR500. I have tried it on .. no change as I would expect as per the above. But thanks Jay.

I have found conversations about the importing from DOS Trunker function not working going all the way back to 2008. There has been no solution offered to date that does not involve dragging the data through one or more external programs and doing extensive editing.
Evidently the Unitrunker "Import" function has never worked, as far as I can tell.
Additionally, the "Download from RR" function seems to do nothing, either.
DaveNF2G ..
I think Rick mentioned that as it is such a small amount of people that would use the import feature .. it was not high on the radar.
Myself .. I converted my Radio / Talkgroup information from Etrunker .. by using an Access database. Was it pretty .. no, but it works. It was way better than typing in 7000 radios again.
If you are interested .. send me a PM and I can give you my email address and you can send me your Trunker data and I will convert it for you into what Unitrunker will understand.

I'm not sure what "P25 issues monitor events" are. Could you please provide a little more information?
Thanks!

Yeah, I'm curious also!

I don't know about the number of people. However, it does occur to me that, for most affected users, it is a feature that would only be needed once.
That was not the case for me as I chose to stick with the DOS trunkers until Unitrunker could handle everything they covered. It still can't, but my only remaining DOS computer is on its last legs.
I have OpenOffice here. If you have a script or macro that helps the process, I would be interested in seeing that.
I am still running Etrunker 24/7 and will til my Edacs system dies in 2016. It is being replaced by a sucky P25 system as we speak. P25 sounds like **** though. It is not a day I am looking forward to.
Re the Open Office thing .. no script, just some database handiwork. The offer is still open as it is a pain and typing thousands of radios in again is not an option.
