There are 3 things you need to have set right.

1. VAC needs to be set as default input device in Windows.
2. In SDRUno VAC needs to be set as default output device.
3. In SDRUno de-emphasis needs to be set to off.

Hopefully it should work then.

Here is a start where you know there will be some DMR traffic and you will know colour codes and slots:

Ah, I misread your location of s/e as South East :D

Do you have an analogue scanner?

Try this page to help with DMR identification. Have a tune around and see if you hear something similar - then try it with DSD.

Start with business licence frequencies. I’m in the middle of nowhere and still hear those who have moved across. That was going to be my suggestion as you can set scan limits with an analogue scanner.
