Upgraded to 0.5.0 final and have a fairly strong control channel that goes back to fade/idle as soon as I enable a few more (all fairly close in the 217 MHz band). It appears the AGC is going into compression as I lose 15 dB on weak stations whenever a strong station is added.

Just the single channel active:

When I add any other site in this system, sync errors/idle/fades on the first one skyrocket and the first frequency drops from -45 to -58:

Turning off a stronger CC does not affect the input level on the original lower signal CC, i.e. if I disable the -30 station, the weaker -45 still stays at -58 when it remains the only channel active. Fully turning off all channels to reset seems to be the only thing that works.

I'm seeing the same behavior is beta 7 as well just to cross check.

I have 6-7 active control channels within this 217 MHz DMR trunking system that I monitor - similar issues with where if I left it overnight, the lower amplitude stations would go Idle by morning. With 0.5.0 final, it seems to happen immediately just by adding a strong CC.

Thoughts?

Was filtering of items in the Event tabs removed? 

Not seeing what was there in the beta versions.

Yes, in the release notes we find this:

I rolled back to 6 as even though it throws errors, it still works. The final version and beta 7 both stop recording on 2 700 mhz systems that are supplied with an airspy. Works good for an hour or so then just stops recording.

Thanks for your hard work in the release! On 0.5.0 Final, instead of the tuners going idle, the app, like b7, crashes(?) and closes. It may be advantageous if anyone recommends a watchdog-type program that could re-launch SDRTrunk if the process quits that would fix my specific issue in the mean time?

Yeah, on "Final" unfortunately, I'm still getting errors after a while of tuners crashing. The next time it happens I'll write down & post the errors here.

[wate...@gmail.com]

I'm getting lots of crashes too with absolutely nothing in the logs. Everything looks normal, but it is very unstable.

[Ron Webb]

I too am seeing a lot of crashes. I am seeing "java crashed with SIGABRT in os::abort()" when it crashes. 

For note, I am running Ubuntu 22.04 and my java version is bellsoft-java19-full 19.0.1+11. For me, when java crashes, thankfully I have it automatically restart. As I am on a Linux system with SYSTEMD, I have SDRTrunk run as a service that automatically starts upon computer booting up and will restart if it crashes. If anyone is using a similar system, such as Ubuntu, Debian or any other similar variances with SYSTEMD, here is my service file...


Filename is /etc/systemd/system/sdrtrunk.service

[Unit]
Description=SDRTrunk
DefaultDependencies=no
After=network.target
After=graphical.target

[Service]
Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
Environment="XAUTHORITY=/home/<USERNAME>/.Xauthority"
Type=simple
User= <USERNAME>
Group= <USERNAME>
ExecStart=/home/<USERNAME>/sdrtrunk/bin/sdr-trunk
TimeoutStartSec=0
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=90


[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
WantedBy=graphical.target

The Environment portion allows it to display in a graphical window. I'm not an expert at that portion, but it works well. Obviously, you will need to change the <USERNAME> to whatever your username is, wherever it is called.

Under the "ExecStart", this should point to where sdr-trunk's bin file is stored. In my home directory, I have a folder named "sdrtrunk" which has both /bin and /lib located inside. These are the products of compiling the code. The file "sdr-trunk" in the /bin folder is what needs to be started. The line "Restart=on-failure" is what causes the program to automatically restart upon failure. I'm hoping that if you don't already know this, you will be able to figure it out from my messages here.

[sdrtrunk]

Phil, after a 'crash' happens, could you please post your application log and if you see any files that start with 'hs_err_pidXXX' in the /bin directory (or whichever directory you use to launch the application) please post those as well.

After about every 24 hours, the control just "disappears", no crash...just losing the control channel. Rolling back to Beta 2 and everything is flawless.

Ron

[Phil Pang]

I don't see any ./sdrtrunk/bin/hs_err_pidXXX files. 

I went back through several days of logs and they all end with the Audio Segment error like this:

"20221225 235855.484 [sdrtrunk polyphase channel] DEBUG i.g.d.r.AudioRecordingManager - Audio Segment detected with NO TO identifiers  [387MB/939MB 41%]" 

I also tried selecting Heterodyne but that ended up with just idle CCs where the Polyphase setting grabs the CCs immediately until the application crashes/closes.

Anyway, it's new year's eve, let's make this next year's problem. :)

Yep, same here. Beta 6 seems to not have the issue. 

[Jim Kovalsky]

I still occasionally see the control channel fall to idle on Beta 6, but much less than 7 or the Final.  It happened again this morning, but the only HS_ file I have in the folder is from last November.  One time it happened recently I was able to capture a screen shot of the launch window, if that shares any useful info.

SDRTrunk was still running, but the control channel just showed Idle..  this is a system that is almost NEVER idle, let alone for hours at a time.

[rlm...@gmail.com]

I ended up rolling back to Beta 2, which has been working flawlessly for days. No "IDLE" control channel issue on this release.

Ron

[Connor Short]

I second this. Beta 2 has worked flawlessly for me for over a year! 

[Brian / BM82557 on RR]

I am running Beta 5
