Support GopherTrunk

GopherTrunk is a one-developer project: a pure-Go RTL-SDR scanner that decodes ten-plus trunked-radio protocols, runs across Linux / Windows / macOS, and has no commercial backing. Every hour of development, every test capture, every spec sheet I track down comes out of personal time and budget.

If GopherTrunk is useful to you — whether you’re a hobbyist, an amateur-radio operator, a public-safety researcher, or just curious about software-defined radio — please consider supporting the project. It keeps the lights on, the hardware up-to-date, and the roadmap moving.

Donate

• GitHub Sponsors — recurring monthly support, processed through GitHub. Fees waived for the first year on every new sponsorship.
• Ko-fi — one-time tips or recurring membership. No account required for tips.

Other ways to help

You don’t have to send money to make a real difference:

• File good bug reports. A clean reproduction with logs, an IQ capture, and the radio system details is worth more than five vague reports. See docs/hardware.md and docs/architecture.md for context to include.
• Contribute IQ captures. Real-world recordings of trunked systems (especially obscure protocols or edge-case modulations) are how decoders get hardened. Anonymized captures welcome.
• Improve the docs. Spot a typo, an outdated install step, or a missing piece? PRs against the docs/ folder ship straight to this site on merge.
• Spread the word. Star the repo, post about it on amateur-radio or SDR forums, or just tell someone who might find it useful.

Roadmap

Sponsorship directly funds the items on the opt-in features and vocoders roadmaps — better simulcast handling, hardware-accelerated channelizers, and broader vocoder coverage for researchers.

Thanks for using GopherTrunk.
