  • This is the answer. I use this program and it works great. May also want to get https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner as this will let you pick and choose which of the monitored talkgroups to listen to, queue up the messages so you're not hearing a bunch of stuff at the same time (or missing things altogether), and lets you go back in time. It also has a great mobile app that you can setup if you want to listen when away from your PC.
