I am on my first few days of SDRTrunk and I really like this software. I made the jump from Unitrunker because of it not supporting Phase2 and that's 90% of the traffic around me. I have SDRTrunk working with TrunkingRecorder pretty well now with all the tags imported from RR. 

The only thing I can't find a great flow path for from this set up is capturing the talkgroups that are not yet identified in RR. From what I can tell, it is only recording and making folders for the talkgroups with aliases.

What I have been doing is when I see a TG pop up that does not have a tag, I create a TG alias and just call it 'TG # UKN'. TrunkingRecorder then creates a folder for it and starts capturing audio so I can begin to gather some context for the TG. I feel like recording the audio from the unknown talkgroups is pretty important for many people as this is a great way to learn what the unknown TGs have going on. 

Is there any current settings I have missed that allow the capture and recording of untagged TGs? If not, is there anything on the horizon for adding this?

Thanks!

You can define an alias for TG ID from 0-65334 and set that to record.  It will catch everything that you don’t have defined somewhere else.

 

On the alias definition:
