Max,
I now have excellent audio using netcat & aplay with the zero center frequency in
trunk.tsv and the sampling rate –S 1000000 in the rx.py command line. Still no sign
though of sockaudio ever starting up.
Thank you!

Disregard my previous message. I had to reinitialize the SDR and rx.py now loads with a
zero center frequency in trunk.tsv using the lower sample rate as suggested.

I tried setting the center frequency to zero in my trunk.tsv and turning the sampling rate
down but rx.py doesn’t like the zero center frequency. See below. Where can I download
the patched version that allows a zero center frequency statement?
pi@raspberrypi:~/op25/op25/gr-op25_repeater/apps $ ./rx.sh
linux; GNU C++ version 4.9.1; Boost_105500; UHD_003.007.003-0-unknown
setting gain lna to 49
set_center_freq: 0

yes, though it depends on whether a center frequency has been specified. If so then OP25
remains tuned to the center frequency and if not, it retunes the SDR each time a frequency
change is needed. From what I've seen the slow sample rate (250,000) on the PI causes
the changes to be somewhat slow, so I was getting the first word(s) of calls chopped off.
Currently (for the PI) we recommend -S 1000000 and setting the center frequency to zero,
or omitting it. Another user reported getting a crash with this, and a possible
workaround for it has just been pushed to the repo.... It should be possible to set the
center frequency to zero. When this is done the trunk-tracking mode should work fine no
matter how wide the system is, but it does preclude the use of the
log-all-talkgroups-to-disk mode, unfortunately...
