+## Monitoring a P25 Trunked System ##
+
+Setup a channel to decode the trunked system's control channel only.  The decoder 
+will automatically detect when additional traffic channels are allocated for 
+calls and will create temporary decoding channels in the application to process 
+each of these calls.  
+
+You do NOT need to create decoding channel configurations for each of the 
+traffic channel frequencies used by the system because the control channel will 
+tell the sdrtrunk application every thing that it needs to know in order to 
+setup a temporary decoding channel.
+
+### Traffic Channel Pool ###
+
+When configuring the P25 control channel decode configuration, use the Traffic
+Channel Pool setting to set the maximum number of temporary traffic channels 
+that can be running at the same time.  The sdrtrunk application will create
+channel configurations up to this maximum number and reuse the channel 
+configurations for subsequent calls.
+
+The default value of 4 traffic channels in the pool is suitable for a modern
+powerful processor.  You may have to reduce this pool size if you are using a 
+lower powered CPU.  Monitor the computer's CPU and memory consumption and adjust
+this value as needed.  Note: you'll have to stop and restart the decoding after
+you change the traffic channel pool size value and save it.

+## Getting started with SDRTrunk ##
+
+SDRtrunk is an integrated application for demodulating radio signals and 
+decoding trunked radio network and some related radio signal formats.  The 
+application does NOT require a discriminator tapped scanner and it does NOT
+require the use of audio piping applications like Virtual Audio Cable.  All
+connections between the tuner or sound card and the decoders is provided by the
+sdrtrunk application.
+
+SDRTrunk uses channel configurations to setup a demodulation and decoder
+processing sequence.  In order to successfully decode radio signals, each 
+channel configuration requires:
+
+* **Source** - specifies where to get the radio samples from (tuner or sound card)
+* **Decoder** - which demodulator or decoder to use in processing the source samples
+
+Each channel configuration allows you to optionally configure:
+
+* **Aux Decoder** - additional in-band audio protocols
+* **Logging** - log decoded messages or events
+* **Recording** - record audio calls or digitized baseband samples
+
+The SDRTrunk application is programmed in Java and can run on any computer where
+the there is Java available for the operating system and the computer hardware
+(processor/memory) is sufficient for the processing workload.
