Re: Problems with V3 console after 1709 W10 installation
Leif Asbrink
Hi Mauno,
OK, thanks. Let's hope, that there will be comparative tests. At leastThe later models of SDRplay have front end filters that surely improve performance on frequencies above 12 MHz. My tests were on 7 MHz where only a 1 MHz high pass filter is added in the later units and I am pretty sure that would not affect performance in my testing. Sensitivity might be much better - but that would also not affect dynamic range performance. I do measurements at a 25 dB NF. Well, "one shouldn't touch a system, which works" is of course aI would be interested to know if you would have any problemI haven't tried Linrad lately. But looks like there are many others, who clever idea - but it is mis-used. New versions of Linrad that are installed with the Linrad installer do in no way affect older versions. Each version gets its own directory and no information is stored outside the directory. By installing the latest and starting using it users can supply me with information about new problems and help in the further development. They can go back to the previous version which is completely un-changed if they encounter a problem. It is different with Microsoft. I did touch the Win 10 installations despite that it worked well. Microsoft did something VERY bad that I did not expect. I will not often upgrade Win 10 in the future. I will need a special procedure in which I clone the partition to be upgraded to a different hard disk so I can do the update on a single-boot computer and then clone it back to the multi-boot system. Not very convenient and nothing I would want to do regularly. 73 Leif |

I do not know from where I got it. If you run the installer here http://sm5bsz.com/dll.htm you will find it in C:\linrad\dll\x64 Size 126464 bytes. I do not remember from where I got it. I have attached the output from listdll64.exe Ihave now verified also on 64 bit Windows 10. I have motherboard USB2 and USB3 as well a PCIe card with USB3. All works well. The Win 10 installation I tested was not updated since maybe April 2016. I now updated Win10 to the latest version - and also the 32 bit Win 10 installation I have on the same computer. As a result I can no longer boot into the 64 bit system. Microsoft has written something to the 64 bit installation that directs boots to the 32 bit installation:-( This will take some time to repair - and I am afraid I will have to repair also Win 7 installations on the system (Four of them. Home and Ultimate 32 and 64 bit. Home allows only one CPU while Ultimate allows two.) Lesson learned: Do never upgrade Win 10 again on a multiboot system. I do not know if Microsoft would update the USB drivers and cause the perseususb to no longer work, but it does work well in the April 2016 system. 73 Leif Leif, |

V3 Nov 24 2017 crashes while changing Bandwidth and moving Bandwidth slider.
Dick
Hi Simon,
After changing the bandwidth several times from 500 KHz to 1 MHz and back
(using both the Bandwidth dropdown list in the Home window as well as the
Bandwidth dropdown list under 'Select Radio'), the program crashes when the
bandwidth slider is moved to the right.
Several times I have been able to 'make this happen', but failed to find a definite procedure to cause this error. 2 crashes gave me the option to save a report in a .zip file.
In both cases a “please wait” was shown.
At the time 2 of the crashes the eventlog contains warnings created by
“Resource-Exhaustion-Detector” mentioning:
SDR Console.exe (4956) uses 12440559616 bytes
SDR Console.exe (488) uses 15065960448 bytes,
In both cases the errorlog.xml shows:
<error>
<what>ACCESS_VIOLATION</what>
<process>
<name>SDR
Console.exe</name>
<id>488</id>
</process>
<module>D:\Amrad-(LT)\SDR-RADIO.com\V3\SDRFFTHelper.dll</module>
<address>0033:00000000E307329A</address>
A third attempt caused an OS crash while the (while a “please wait” was
showing) and reboot .
De bugcontrole is 0x0000007e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff80494e56c80, 0xffffe181fa9ace08, 0xffffe181fa9ac640). After the reboot another (4’th) attempt was made to reproduce the problem
and again it caused SDR Console to crash (after a “please wait”) but no problem
report was offered.
The Evenlog contained:

Mauno,
I can say with my limited "testing" of the RSP1A that it is generally has a -10dBm lower noise floor and seems to be a bit more sensitive than my RSP1. 73, Jim JG1KGS |

Re: Problems with V3 console after 1709 W10 installation
Mauno_Ritola
Hi Leif,
Oooh! When I wrote SDRplay I mean their first unit RSP1.OK, thanks. Let's hope, that there will be comparative tests. At least the earliest ones claim, that it would have better signal handling than the previous models. Price, frequency coverage and recording span make it an offer not easy to refuse. I would be interested to know if you would have any problemI haven't tried Linrad lately. But looks like there are many others, who don't get Perseus work at all in their USB3's of 64 bit systems, they'd certainly appreciate your help. I hear, that one shouldn't touch a system, which works :-) Albeit it needs two starts also here as yours. Thanks again, Mauno

Re: SDR Console to Ham Radio Deluxe Interface Instructions
jon greenwood
ADD CWSkimmer? So have all the above playing well together but now trying to add CWskimmer and just cannot figure out the combination. Tried all the current suggestions using VB cables etc. All I can get is the station I am tuned to and it repeats it self up and down the display in the skimmer. Also copy is very poor. Skimmer is tracking my radio so the virtual cat is fine just cant figure out the signal input. Using SdRPLay rsp2.
Has anyone got HRD, sdrconsole and the skimmer all working together without reverting back to hdsdr? |

Re: Problems with V3 console after 1709 W10 installation
Leif Asbrink
Hi Mauno,
Thank you, Leif. What I don't understand is that a certain brand wouldOooh! When I wrote SDRplay I mean their first unit RSP1. I do not think the newer ones are significantly better because performance is limited by the Mirics tuner chip as far as I can understand. Actually, if you run the SDRplay with Linrad you can select 14 bits but then the sampling rate is limited to 6.048 MHz. If you select 12 bit, the max sampling rate is 8.064 MHz. The ADC is in the Mirics chip and it is the same in all the SDRplay versions as far as I can understand. My original question was that is HF+ is much better than SDRPlay RSP1*A*.I do not think that the important parameters are specified. Unfortunately Perseus has problems even in Win 7-64 with some USB3Well, I had some problems in the past, but today, with the latest drive routines for the USB system I have no problem on any USB3 port on any of my computers.

Re: DXLabs and V3 Issue
Yea etc.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the workarounds I had to implement due to the Windows 1709 debacle? Anyway as it’s working I’ll strike this off my list.

I personally only record to MP3. The current is 254 kbps. I don't think we need a lot of bitrates, but perhaps 256, 192, 128, 96 and 64? Support for LAME? |

Re: Mute control not yet supported
Larry Schroeder <wd9sef@...>
On the Afreet Software, Inc website if you look on the left side and scroll down to Tech Stuff you’ll see the Omni Rig Client. Download that and when you run it you’ll see how the Omni Rig software receives commands from the selected radio. The above shot shows that the RX button is lit green indicating correctly that the Yaesu FTDX 5000 is currently in receive mode. However when PTT is pushed the software remains in receive mode (green) whereas the green box labeled RX should now be black (off) and the TX box should now be green indicating it’s in transmit mode and should be muting the receiver audio. The U.S. technical director at SDR Play RSP2ro (David Brightman) called me yesterday and did a TeamViewer screen sharing session and said it was a software issue causing the incident I’m struggling with here Simon. Please let me know if you have a suggestion. Thank you for your prompt reply by the way. Below you’ll see that External Radio Options are set to mute audio. Post a few screenshots?
What OmniRig Client?
From: main@SDR-Radio.groups.io [mailto:main@SDR-Radio.groups.io] On Behalf Of Larry Schroeder
The auto mute is on in the SDR Console. When I look at the Omni Rig Client (not Omni Rig app) the TX button never goes to green on transmit indicating that it’s seeing the Yaesu FTDX 5000 as always being in receive mode even when the radio is keyed up and this is why I’m hearing the audio when transmitting.
Hoping some of you that own the Yaesu FTDX 5000 have run into this scenario and found a fix. It makes using the SDR Play impossible because of this. Larry Schroeder WD9SEF 715-574-5633. Mobile

You can see auto-mute function. |

Bit rate for MP3 / WMA etc.?

The time and date stamp is ok for "live" recordings. However, could you make it be possible to stamp the audio recording with the time and date when I play back an IQ file? And I'd like to suggest the option to select the bit rate. I usually use much lower bit rates (usually 128 kbps) for my DX recordings. Mostly to keep reception report attachments small. |
