Unitrunker Release 32 (Updated)

[KA2ZEY]

From our conversation on reddit, I understand you're using 1.0.32.7 on Windows 8.1

Here are a couple of unanswered questions:

What firmware is loaded in your AirSpy?

Does adjusting the gain values on the Info tab have any effect?

I'm not sure how to check the firmware. I tried to update the firmware from github. When I try to execute 'airspy_spiflash', CMD crashes. It opens very quick and then closes. I tried to execute from command prompt too but it asks me for more variables about which I'm not too sure.

Are you sure that what you're seeing is a crash? The Airspy firmware update is extremely fast.

They don't call it "flashing" for nothing.

Yeah maybe that's what's going on. I couldn't tell if it was incompatible or running fast. You're probably right. So yeah, Airspy has been updated to latest firmware. Wish I could figure out the problem.

Can I use the rtl-sdr.com R208T for multi VCO's (one dongle trunking operation)?

I'm also going to be switching everything over to a TW100 tablet for all my SDR decoding stuff so maybe I'll have better luck than bootcamp on my MacBook Pro.

You can if all the frequencies you need to receive for the system you are monitoring fall within the 2 MHz bandwidth of the dongle.

Right. And that's why an Airspy would be so good because of the 10 Mhz bandwidth. Not sure if the little TW100 Tablet will be able to pull that off.

This new release is extremely broken.
-When a talkgroup is broadcasting on the most frequent trunked channel and switches, the control channel does not follow it. Instead it will stay on the same channel and broadcast whatever is now using it, or it will switch to a totally different talkgroup that has a lower priority (higher number).
-Extending onto this point, it simply does not follow the proper talkgroups half of the time that have the higher priority (lower number).

Has there been any progress in tracking down this bug? It gets annoying when the system gets very busy and half the good calls are covered up by boring calls.
