Re: SDR Console with W11

Chris van Lint

You learn something every day. I did not realise that there is no need to uninstall the DAB driver before using Zadig to install the correct one. I am afraid that your instructions to use VID and PID and the reference to WCID Driver are beyond my pay grade and do not quite know how to go about that. I agree with the comments on the E4000 front end, also echoed by other contributors. I have found that for working around 1.6GHz they appear to perform better. In my somewhat simplistic analysis of how these things work, I thought that the communication between the PC and the dongle is handled by the RTL2838UHIDIR chip and that the R820T/E4000 is the actual tuner or front end. Again this leads me to assume that this observation is confirmed by the fact that neither the E4000 nor the RTL820T dongle work. Other SDRs such as the Airspy HF+ and the SDRPlay work fine on this W11 PC.

All you need to do is mark the dongle as a WinUSB device that uses libusb. Your problem makes me think of one thing immediately. You exported SDRC settings from one machine, imported them from the other, and used whatever goofy instructions you found for running Zadig. Yes, Windows can install DAB stuff on the dongle. Do not interrupt it. Let it finish. THEN run Zadig, find the device by VID and PID. These may be different for older E400 dongles than for more modern R830T dongles. So you may have to run it twice for each dongle. I'm annoyed so you get to figure out the appropriate vid/pid pairs. Be careful. The 0bda vendor makes other stuff likely in your computer. Find a candidate and google the numbers. When you have a device candidate tell Zadig to "Install WCID Driver". Leave WinUSB selected. When running Zadig you do not have to log in as Adininistrator. You do have to use an account marked as one of the administrators and use the "Run as administrator" right click option. If Zadig has not been run properly and you did the export then import with SDRC it may be able to see a device but not use it. The only other thing I can think of is the possibility that Windows security features may mean you have to go into settings and allow SDRC to run the dongles. That may require a big long slog through settings. I'd start with devices or security. 11 has settings to make access to sound and video devices at a very granular level. This may exist for a "DAB" dongle even if it is now marked as a device using WinUSB.sys. I've not been following this discussion because - well - rtlsdr. I am developing an allergy to the god damn things helped along by Google screwing up the external access to my Google Drive folder containing some rtlsdr aids - and users not being able to read past where they found the link on rtlsdr.whatever. I posted the correction. But the people cannot edit the original post to put in the correct address.

Re: SDR Console with W11 Chris van Lint #67619 One of the problems with written comments is that subtle nuances can easily be misinterpreted without having the opportunity to clarify. From your response it would appear that I have offended you. It was not my intention to be sarcastic. I simply wanted to highlight the fact that I am aware that my knowledge of SDR software is very limited, but that I have managed to get some reasonable results using SDR-C in the past. If I have offended you, I do apologise and for the record I do not think that you are a stupid dolt. Quite to the contrary; I have read some of your comments on this list and it is obvious that you know your stuff. I have to confess that a lot of it is sort of outside my comfort zone in terms of understanding.. As to figuring it out myself, I have decided not to pursue this issue any further. Everything works fine on my Laptop W10 and to other HP PCs running W10, which are currently packed away.

Re: No RSP useable in SDR Console #sdrplay Mike Bott #67609 Simon, With my Win8.1 set-up, I had to use the 3.09API with both SDRuno and SDR Console to get either to work. With the release and installation of of SDRuno 1.42.0728, the 3.10API (non-beta) worked with both SDRuno and SDR Console.

Re: Contour Multimedia Controller Express & SDRC martinbradford2001 #67607 I use the Contour Shuttle with Win4Yaesu and Tom has built in some very simple functionality which makes it work very well - perhaps something similar could be built into SDRC? Tom catches four different key strokes at the application frame level : F9 and F10 which are interpreted as "tune down one frequency step" and "tune up one frequency step" and the plus and minus keys that are interpreted as increase and reduce the frequency step size. We program the wheel to send a stream of F9s and F10s depending on the direction it is turned and program the two large buttons on either side of the shuttle to send plus and minus keystrokes. The up and down arrow keys retain their current meanings, tied to whichever pane has focus... -- Martin G8FXC

If Zadig has not been run properly and you did the export then import with SDRC it may be able to see a device but not use it. The only other thing I can think of is the possibility that Windows security features may mean you have to go into settings and allow SDRC to run the dongles. That may require a big long slog through settings. I'd start with devices or security. 11 has settings to make access to sound and video devices at a very granular level. This may exist for a "DAB" dongle even if it is now marked as a device using WinUSB.sys. I've not been following this discussion because - well - rtlsdr. I am developing an allergy to the god damn things helped along by Google screwing up the external access to my Google Drive folder containing some rtlsdr aids - and users not being able to read past where they found the link on rtlsdr.whatever. I posted the correction. But the people cannot edit the original post to put in the correct address. {^_^} On 20220731 18:56:08, Chris van Lint wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text jdow, you probably entered this conversation somewhere down the line. In earlier emails I did indicate that I HAD to run Zadig, because W11 decided it had just the right driver, which of course was the wrong one. I uninstalled the faulty driver using Device Manager and used Zadig to install the correct one. No I did not copy/transfer any settings for the Laptop Chris On 1/08/2022 01:10, jdow wrote: Dotting an i here - did you run Zadig on this system? Did you copy settings etc from the Windows 10 system?

Re: SDR Console with W11 jdow #67603 OK, I am a stupid dolt. You can figure it out yourself. {^_^} On 20220731 18:50:18, Chris van Lint wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Just for the record; I am not by any means very savvy when it comes to computers and software, especially the intricacies of SDR. On the other hand I do have a bit of experience and I am a dedicated fan of SDR-Console. If you do have some spare time, which I doubt you could have a look at this attachment. Chris

Re: usb relay, which one to order? Siegfried Jackstien #67602 As far as i know usb relays only be used to switch ptt but not between antennas.. A band data out via usb could solve that.. Say you want to switch to the beam on 10 to 20m and to the dipole on 40 and 80m.. If your two antennas are one for transmit and (maybe a beverage) one for receive.. Ok then you could use a usb relay.

Hi guys, I would like to switch between antennas with the SDR Console program. For that I would need to have a USB relay board. What type of cards would work nowadays with SDR Console? 73e Michael -- - + - + - Please use https://forum.sdr-radio.com:4499/ when posting questions or problems.
