Introduction

Hello group!  My name is David and I just found and started using SDRTrunk today.  What an AMAZING piece of software!  I have Uniden SDS100 and SDS200 scanner.  I like using this software MUCH better than my SDS200 because of all the details and control it offers.  I am currently using it with a SDRPlay RSP1B at 10MHz.  I have a number of other SDRs and plan to add a second one (probably the Airspy R2) to monitor a system that uses 700MHz so I can monitor it simultaneously with my local county P25 II system that is 800MHz.  I haven't tried recording or logging yet.  That's for tomorrow.

One thing I'd like to see added is the ability to direct a system to a specific channel when using stereo mode.  Currently (using the latest daily build), it appears to put everything on the left channel until it has a second simultaneous call, which it then routed to the right channel.  It would be really nice if I could configure it to route one system left and another right.  Even better - support multiple soundcards with the ability to route a specific system to a specific soundcard.

Thanks, again, for a FANTASTIC piece of software.

Try to place the SDRs on separate USB busses as you may run out of USB 2.0 bandwidth running two wideband SDRs on a single bus.

Thanks for the input.  I have 2 - USB3 cards in the PC, each of which has 4 ports with each port on its own controller.  I added the cards several years ago when I was using a number of high bandwidth SDRs.  Having a separate controller per port avoids the issue of running out of bandwidth and stuttering.  FYI, it took quite a bit of trial and error to get good cards that didn't have compatibility issues with USB3 SDRs (e.g., RX-888, Ettus B200, etc.).  This is the card I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HJZEA2S?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_15&th=1.  It works with every SDR I've tried.  No driver issues (Windows 11) and no compatibility issues.

Just be aware that the USB 2.0 device will pull down a USB3.0 controller to USB 2.0 speeds.
