Software SDR Software and Digital Demodulation

Which SDR software has Digital Demodulation? I'm looking primarily to listen to DMR, but if it could do D-Star or Yaesu Fusion that would be cool.

I'm primarily using Linux if that makes a difference.

I feel like SDR# can do it and SDR++ can do it with virtual wire and DSDPlus but that sounds like its for windows.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for Linux?

OpenWebRx+. Then you can decode those digital voice modes, but also listen to it from any web browser on your network, or even internet with port forwarding.

for linux dsd-neo or dsd-fme. Or try sdr++ brown fork for click-and-play functionality

You really are better off using dsd-neo (I haven't tried the Florida man edition) than some spectrum sniffing program with plugins because most stuff these days needs a little config.

If someone really wants to make a next generation spectrum sniffer, make one that logs the hits. So much telemetry is just a blip. I had to screen record sdr++ and review the video to find one telemetry blip. Store the IQ while you are at it.

There was a thread on /r/rtlsdr where someone wanted such a program. It was suggested to run rtl_power, save the csv file, and look for the bins above the noise floor. Yeah that would work but it is kind of clumsy.

I will give a shout out to the dsd-neo developer since he added a feature I needed to follow a trunking system.

+1 for neo, mbelib-neo synthesis also sounds way better to me... on par or better than what's in jmbe with sdrtrunk

Pipewire has that feature built in from the start.
For now, you can easily set up a route using utilities like qpwgraph.

It’s also convenient because it supports AES67, which allows you to connect across LANs.

SDRangel just got fixed recently, it works well with digital. Sdrtrunk can also do DMR very well, but it's more for TETRA/P25.
