This video is amazing and SDRTrunk works way better than DSDPlus.
-
genius...you are the SDR professor!!
-
Wow, thanks for the effort. This was very helpful with setting up two RTL-SDRs. I nearly overlooked the serial number issue if not for your instruction.
-
I have been use DSD+ Fast Lane, and saw this Video a while back, but then tried to find it and could not. tonight it was in my youtube feed. so i locked the channel in my favs and will set this up tomorrow. I might be playing this multiple times and start and stopping this till i get it all setup. :) thanks for doing this.
-
Thank you for this video. I will watch video numerous times before I begin to set it up, unlike trying to install step by step while watching as I did on the other video. Hopefully this time I will be successful in installing everything properly this time.
-
Great tutorial - got me up and running with my local trunking system. Thanks!
-
Got the second dongle, very much improved.
-
Thanks for making me quit pulling my hair out. What little I have. You are right. The Dongles are NOT plug and play. This video was worth the hour it lasted installing the dongles and running the software the correct way. SDRtrunk has a learning curve. Other than that, I'm listening. KX5E

Excellent tutorial! I'm a long-time feed provider to Broadcastify (Radio Reference) with decent technical skills, but could never get SDR to work. However, your video and SDRTrunk have made all the difference in the world. The step by step instructions from install to configuration was great. I was up & running in no time. Well done :-)
-
What a great tutorial. Nice work man👍
-
Thanks partner, can't wait to try it!
-
Thanks Joshua, great walkthrough. One thing I noticed is having the tuners connected to a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB 3.0 made the additional devices in command prompt disappear and it only showed the 2 real devices, IDs 0 and 1, as it should. Radio Reference 100% worth it.
-
Holy heck! Thank you so much for this excellent how-to. I'm in awe of folks that can figure all this stuff out lol. Still feeling my way around but at least it works.
-
Very, very informative. Thank you very much.....
-
Great Tutorial, works for me using 1 SDR
-
Well presented and explained!
-
Fantastic video!! thank you soo much!
-
Two yrs ago I built a 5 SDR HS/fan cooled array, with Nooelec V3 SDRs, that I run SDR Trunk on.
-
My laptop won't recognize that the dongles are even plugged in. 😢
