In the [audio priority](#example-audio-priority) example, we setup the ABC Trucking bus fleet
to Do Not Monitor so that we did not have to listen to bus radio calls on our local computer.
However, other listeners have requested to hear the bus fleet streaming over the internet. So,
we've already setup a local Icecast audio streaming server and configured an audio stream with
a name of **ABC Trucking Audio Stream**. Next, we'll setup the ABC Trucking buses talkgroup to

# Channel Spectrum #
The channel spectrum window allows you to view the dynamic frequency content of
the demodulated audio produced from the currently selected decoding channel.
The demodulated audio is processed with a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)
similar to the Spectral Display. This display allows you to hover over each of
the peaks in the audio frequency and a frequency readout is displayed next the
cursor.
You can use the frequency readout to measure spectral content like CTCSS tones
that may be present in the demodulated audio output.
Spectral display processing only occurs when you have a channel selected and
when the spectral display tab is displayed. If you have the spectral display
tab displayed and no channels are selected, the display will be empty.
Note: certain decoders like the P25-LSM decoder do not produce demodulated audio
and will not display audio content in the channel spectrum window. The audio
output from digital voice CODECs is not displayed in this channel spectrum
window.
## Context Menus ##
You can change the color, FFT size, and frame rate of the channel spectrum
window by right-clicking anywhere in the display and choosing from the menu
options.

## Getting started with SDRTrunk ##
SDRtrunk is an integrated application for demodulating radio signals and
decoding trunked radio network protocols 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 definitions to configure and setup each 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 definition allows you to optionally configure:
* **Aux Decoder** - additional in-band audio digital signal protocol decoding
* **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 Java is supported
for the operating system and where the computer hardware (processor/memory) is sufficient for the
processing workload.
### Setup ###
* [Linux](SetupLinux_V0.3.0.md)
* [Windows](SetupWindows_V0.3.0.md)
### Application Overview ###
The [application overview](v0.3/ApplicationOverview_V0.3.0.md) article describes the various
components in the sdrtrunk application
### Configuration ###
The Channels tab at the center of the application is the central control for configuring and
managing channel definitions. Please refer to the [Channels](Channels_V0.3.0.md) wiki page for
instructions on creating channel definitions and starting channels decoding.

# Waterfall Display #
The waterfall display shows a history of the frequency content of the currently displayed [tuner](Tuner).
![](images/waterfall.png)
## Context Menus ##
Right-click anywhere in the waterfall display to view a list of context-sensitive menu options. See the [Spectral Display](SpectralDisplay) page to see descriptions of the Color, Display and Frequency context menus.
* **Pause** - pauses the waterfall and displays **Paused** in the upper left corner. When you un-pause the display, the waterfall will show all frequency history that happened while paused.
Note: if you see a signal in the waterfall, you can pause the waterfall and use the zoom control to zoom in on the transmission to inspect the bandwidth and frequency, or other features of the signal. You can optionally expand the viewable height of the waterfall window to view waterfall signals that appear to have scrolled off the screen. There is a limited history available.
