Hi.
Alrighty, I'm downloading
sdr-trunk-windows-x86_64-v0.5.0-alpha6.zip59.1 MB
from
Releases · DSheirer/sdrtrunk · GitHub
I open the zip file and have a folder called
sdr-trunk-windows-x86_64-v0.5.0-alpha6
I copy this folder to
C:\sdr-trunk-windows-x86_64-v0.5.0-alpha6
It has 5 things in it, Bin, conf, legal, lib and release
I open bin. It has 69 items listed, I hit, you'd say double click
sdr-trunk.bat
A console window appears, and I get a bunch of errors (see below. The prompt does not come up again. The program is still running, but not doing anything. I'll have to hit ctrl+c to stop it before I close the console window manually. I also think I must be doing something wrong, but as far as I can figure, I'm doing exactly what the instructions say. The Intel NUC is a fresh install as of about 2 months ago. I get no different results now than I got before the reset from the same computer. As for critical programs, just the screen reader, JAWS or NVDA since I'm blind, but I'm thinking the errors look like it just can't find parts of itself, which a screen reader is not going to cause.
Btw this is Windows 10.
I also tried downloading and running older release versions to
see if that changed anything, and it didn't. That was before the
recent reset of this machine.

Hi.
If I'm trying to use the pre-compiled version as in the message below, do I need Java? I don't recall any mention of that on the readme.md.

Ok thanks.
So I'm mostly discussing running from the release (as detailed below). I now know I don't need Java for that. Someone says they downloaded that release and got it running. Are there any other secrets?
Btw, this is an i3 NUC not an i5, and being a 6th gen it's a hyperthreaded dual core, 2 cores 4 threads. However, I get the same error running it on anything else including i5 8250u 4 cores 8 threads 3.4ghz and 16gb ram. Also yes it is 64 bit, I'm positive of this.
For the person a couple messages below who had success, did you
run the same batch file I said I ran?

Hi.
If by Nuking you mean reformatting/resetting the whole computer, this is already a fresh install that the issue persists beyond, the results were the same before and after, and downloaded fresh .zip files to multiple machines and had the same issue. There's something probably obvious going on but I dunno what it is.
I don't even have an SDRTrunk in c:\users\a1t2s which, by the way, that is my user folder so that part is right. I created SDRTrunk there to see if it mattered, and it created a settings folder inside of it and SDRTrunk.properties, but the settings folder is empty.
I opened SDRTrunk.properties in Notepad, this is its contents:
#SDRTrunk - SDR Trunking Decoder Application Settings
#Mon Mar 14 19:27:26 EDT 2022
root.directory=SDRTrunk
Here's what the errors look like now, slightly different.
This is after I created c:\users\a1t2s\SDRTrunk folder
"C:\sdr-trunk-windows-x86_64-v0.5.0-alpha6\bin\.."
"C:\sdr-trunk-windows-x86_64-v0.5.0-alpha6\bin\../bin/java.exe"

Hi.
Using NVDA screen reader. I've tried running the batch file with no screen reader at all running in the past and got the same error.
This is a fresh install of Windows, after I installed a new ssd, replacing the original. It wouldn't clone properly so I just started from scratch. I signed into my Microsoft account.
I'm not currently doing so, but you can run NVDA portably. Hard to think it's causing the problem even though the errors mention Java Access Bridge.
I guess I could create a vm of Windows 10 and just use Narrator, Window's built in screen reader and not install anything, download the SDRTrunk and see what it does.
I do anticipate accessibility issues with SDR Trunk even after I eventually get it to run, but at that point I can request improvements and/or just let mom set it up and use it.

If 5 other computers are experiencing the same trouble, I doubt it’s every computer there. More likely it is the installation method or the file blobs used to install everything. Others here have had trouble because they used the wrong library or wrong Java engine or other choices, so problems seem to be the norm rather than the exception. This is far from a finished product.
Plus, give the guy a break, listening to many screenfuls of error messages must be terrible on a screen reader.
It might be worthwhile for someone who knows SDRtrunk well to arrange for a remote control session, perhaps there is an error message or some clue that is visible that escapes the screen reader?

Hi.
I'll try the vm idea. If that doesn't help, then I think the next step might involve letting someone who has experience getting it to work connect with Team Viewer or some such, assuming anyone is willing.
My vm will be a fresh install and it will have no screen readers or any other software what so ever installed beyond a brand new clean setup of Windows. I'm just going to copy the zip over, unzip it and run it and see what it does.

Hi.
Ok fresh vm of Windows 10 x64 running on admittedly limited resources provided by the low power i3 CPU in the Intel NUC6i3SYH with VMWare Player. I got errors, but some of these look like IO complaints which might be because my sdr isn't physically plugged in right now. I figured that's not important until I actually get something to run. It did run, maybe? I can't get anything at all to read in the main window except for the minimize and maximize and close buttons. So the main window of this program might currently be totally inaccessible. I performed OCR on the VMWare player window from the host machine using NVDA and I get this.

So, it's running apparently? I just can't get Narrator to do anything with it. I'll install NVDA in the VM and, if it still lets SDRTrunk run, will see if it has any better luck. Also, below is my console output the first time I ran it in the vm.

OK, it looks like it’s running, but without the dongles that I know you did not plug in. If you had dongles registered and ready to work, SDRtrunk would emit a log message at startup similar to the following:
16:47:27.263 INFO i.g.d.s.t.TunerManager - USB Bus [1] Device [0BDA:2838] LOADED: RTL2832 SDR/R820T 00000004 Max Rate:38400000 bps [15MB/40MB 38%]
The typical log message format starts on the left with a time stamp of form: hour : minute : second . milliseconds.
Then the log level, in this case INFO.
Then abbreviations of the path leading to the module outputting the message, with a hyphen appended.
Then the text of the actual log message. In the example message above from my system, the string 00000004 is the serial number that I programmed into that particular dongle to differentiate it from the other 2 in the same computer. I don’t believe yours have this, but the serial number can be helpful when you have multiple dongles plugged into one computer.
There is a utility to program a serial number into the dongles called RTLtool by Joanne Dow. The link to her Google Drive containing it and another utility follows:
These log messages all appear in a DOS / console window that starts at the very beginning.
That DOS window spawns the main SDRtrunk graphical window intended for user interaction, with the spectrum display and activity grid showing talkgroups and frequencies and so forth. The graphical user interface spawns a child window at startup that counts down for 10 seconds to begin receiving, with a button to start immediately and another button to Cancel and abort starting the receivers.
So I suspect your screen reader is not rendering that startup DOS window which is why you don’t hear any log messages at startup.
Your VM appears to be running SDRtrunk correctly, so now the trick is to transfer your success over to a machine that can access the SDR dongles.
Hope this helps.
Hi.
I'm going off in a different direction temporarily just to rule it out. I'm trying to run it on a Ubuntu mate 20.04 installation. This one is the beta that includes the CPU calibration. I downloaded the latest Linux x86 x64 installer as of this writing which is 0.5.0beta2. I ran the shell script in the bin folder. I got an sdr trunk window and a calibrate CPU window. I think it might be trying to run? I'm unable to do anything with my screen reader to either window. Can you tell me if the calibration starts and proceeds on its own? If I just need to wait a fair bit on that window to maybe disappear on its own then I'll at least know that process tried to do what it was supposed to.
It's a little confusing for now because the computer I have the vm of Windows 10 on doesn't have a screen, and the one with Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't either. Also the Ubuntu one is a terribly underpowered Intel d2550 Desktop board. I don't expect good results there but it's encouraging to see that it seems to be at least running.
Is it possible to configure the station I want to monitor (p25) phase 2, add in channels or what ever, using notepad to edit xml files or what ever sdrtrunk uses, and then expect to be able to just launch sdrtrunk, once I have it on something that will actually run it that is, and it just start being a police scanner?
I'm rather sure this is kind of a goofy and obscure request, but the interface of sdrtrunk at this point is totally unusable with a screen reader and my goal is to create a police scanner out of one or more rtl sdr units and one way or another save a boatload of money. It's just proving to be a pretty slow start so far especially as all my computers that have screens won't run sdrtrunk, lol. I will install VMWare player on one of the laptops and use that win10 vm and let the sighted people take a look at it soon, but it'll serve little purpose probably as they aren't very technical. The best we can hope for is that the interface is actually easy enough for them to understand that we can work our way through configuring it. I suppose I could even ask one of you experts to configure a copy of it in a pinch, but that would be something I'd rather not need.
Many thanks!
