Re: Ettus USRP N200 compatibility

Simon,
That Ettus X310 is a rather pricey item: USRP X310 - $ 7,013.00 USD. https://www.ettus.com/product-categories/usrp-x-series/ Is it on loan from Ettus? The Ettus X410 is three times the price! What makes this Ettus hardware so expensive? There prices rival Rohde_&_Schwarz. Considering Toyon Research employs Ettus hardware in some of their military products, I'm gussin' Ettus' prices are geared toward the military market (as are R&S): https://www.toyon.com Best regards, Larry WB6BBB On Wed, 2 Feb 2022 07:58:19 -0000, "Simon Brown" <simon@...> wrote: With ETTUS the problem is the support dll (UHD.dll).

With ETTUS the problem is the support dll (UHD.dll). I can’t get my B200 running at much more than 24MHz bandwidth, haven’t looked at UHD.dll for quite a while. The UHD.dll code is by no means optimal, *very* difficult to optimise due to its size and complexity, all unnecessary IMO.
Were I commercial person I would write a new support dll for a specific Ettus device, this may well be the only way to get it running properly.

IO will be your speed limiting factor. I've had SDRC running a full 30 MHz wide USB 3 link to a RX888 and an RX888 MKII receiver. I hacked a little and got SDRSharp to run happly on the MKII with a 60 MHz level bandwidth. Going much above that would probably be a problem with USB 3.1. I've not worked out the math, though. 120 million 16 bit samples per second is a bit under 2 GHz data rate. You'd need 10 gig Ethernet to handle it. And a 1 GHz net would possibly have problems with the full RX888 (not MKII) bandwidth. These days the Ethernet offered on most computers is "slow".

Re: Virtual Here And Local Network
Simon, I agree but I've disabled the Windows firewall on my laptop. And since I can remote into my "station" on SDR Space on other PCs, I know my router is configured correctly. I'll keep digging. Thanks.

Open Web Rx >NetSDR via Soapy on a Pi4 andrus sdr mk1.5
Daniel Young
Having recently purchased an andrus MK1.5 sdr that is in transit it, supports NetSDR, it isn't on the Web Rx supported hardware unsurprisingly as rare.
But the compatibility list soapy sdr mentioned and soapy sdr supports NetSDR. My thinking was if I could run the pi4 and mk1. 5, POE away from local electrical noise perhaps and have a kiwisdr type setup. NetSDR Interface Specification Rev. 1.05 Sept 8, 2014 - MoeTronix
www.moetronix.com › files › NetS... Any advice appreciated Thank you |

Re: Virtual Here And Local Network
VirtualHere simply fools "client" PCs into believing whatever USB devices are plugged into the "server" PC are also plugged into them. Open up device manager and bam- there's an RSPdx. It's handy for controlling my antenna rotator, as well.

Re: Bricked my Ettus X310
Erik. M0MWF
Hi Charley,
I did get it working on the desktop PC using Win 7 & a single 10G Ethernet connection. Ray Roberge, another forum member, confirmed for me I was using the wrong image at first. It took about 28 attempts to load the image, the upload failing continuously. I kept at it until the image completed its upload, and then it was unbricked / fine. For the Laptop & W10 with a 2.5G SFP, UHD never fully installed correctly, I cannot run uhd commands short of find_devices, and even probe fails, but enough of it is there for SDR Console to work. I've devoted an unheathly amount of time to trying to get that to work under Windows 10, and thus have left that as it is. The whole UHD install process is so very poorly documented, but keep at it, and it will run enough for SDR Console to work, which seems to have some of the UHD already with it. Regards. |

Re: Andrus SDR
Daniel Young
Hi all and thank you for all the information, I have purchased the SDR and have made an effort to build a library of all available information I could find.
The usb noise mod explains complaint on eham, but the pictures are no longer available- so I guess it's just grounding usb socket? I tried way back machine to try and get the quick start guide-not available any more. There is a printed document accompanying the device which I believe explains firmware update process. I'm still unclear how both receivers are operated independently- hopefully when I receive device it will be apparent. 🙂 Thank you for guidance |

Re: Virtual Here And Local Network
Tom Crosbie G6PZZ
My RSPdx is connected to my desktop in the shack on the third floor of my house on a wired network. I use my laptop (ground floor) and tablet (middle floor) to connect to that using RDP via wi-fi. I don’t use the server version of SDRC. I tried a DNS service for remote access via my mobile phone but couldn’t find the right open ports. Is this what Virtual Here does? I’ve never heard of it before. I’m in the UK.

Okay, so yes- adding the RSPdx to my SDR Console server I can access it from outside my local network. That's great if I want to listen at work, as I do with my Afedri (I just remoted into my work PC to check) but I want to listen on other PCs in my house. Connecting to the server, SDR Console just times out on my laptop. Is it meant to be accessed from inside the network or do I have something configured incorrectly? My Afedri works outside of the server because it's connected to the home network.

Why not run the RSPdx in SDRC Server? |

Virtual Here And Local Network
My main receiver is an Afedri LAN-IQ and I can access it from anywhere in the world using SDR Console. I love it. My "shack" runs a Windows 11 desktop PC and that's where my antennas feed into my SDRs.
I recently bought an RSPdx (it also stays connected to my desktop) and with VirtualHere, I can fool any PC within my local area network into thinking it's physically attached so that it can run with SDRuno (an app I'm not as crazy about.) Because of the demands of the data that USB needs to deliver, SDRuno must be set up to run in "Bulk" USB mode, not the typical Isochronous mode. It works perfectly this way- no lag or stutter. But I want it to work in SDR Console! Does SDR Console allow for configuring USB Bulk mode? Without it, the remote RSPdx is found but is unlistenable. Thanks, Dominic Dambro |
