SDRplay2

Mark Manucy <w4fje@...>
 

When I first bought my SDR it worked with both desk top and laptop w/V2.3. With V3 I'm having trouble with the laptop. It sees the SDR but won't display and gives: error connecting to USB:50000. (no such host known).
The program recognizes the SDR... is there. But won't install.
The main computer is an ASUS and the laptop is a HP.
I'm going to St. Joseph, Mo. to view the eclipse and want to take my SDR to view the spectrum. Any suggestions?
Also, when trying to load V3 there were so many "pop-ups" saying I need this and that to add to the computer I had serious issues load V3. Where is that coming from (Google)?

The software will ask for Microsoft C+ of various flavours to be installed if not already there, but that's it so far as I know.

Why drive a 2CV  when a Ferrari is available for just a small donation?


You could take the time to work out the answer and post it back here to help others in the group.

Hello
Because I have no answer on my problem I'll stop my test with sdr Console, I come back to HDSDR

Paul and others,

Although I find V2 and V3 very impressive pieces of software, I find that they aren't modeled after a full featured transceiver/receiver.
I find that the RSP2 integration is quite buggy for the time being. HDSDR is quite friendly.
Just being able to access the EXTIO "front end" to directly control RSP2 settings is a joy.
And "spinning the dial" like any piece of desktop amateur radio is capable of only requires a short learning curve with SDRPlay sponsored software.
The hinted laptop computer support (or lack of) and need for an external VFO, mouse, etc. has hindered my use of V2,3.
I like to use my laptop for mobile use, so keeping things compact is of importance.
Scan and store in banks would be nice, for HF and VHF.
I believe from reviews that the RSP2 radios are selling like hotcakes and many owners like me are looking for alternate SDR interfaces to use.
Not exactly a Ferarri that has to go to the shop every week, but something that we can take out and drive and know we will make it back home.
..not positive what a 2CV is but if it involves Lucas electrics, i'll break out in shivers. guess Google is my friend!
My donation would be based on making things I feel as important "must haves" jumping out in front.

Mark,

 

  • I assume you downloaded from my website?
  • What operating system – W10?
  • What’s in these popups – there really shouldn’t be any other than the suggestion that you create a radio definitions. Maybe add a screenshot of a popup? I’m getting a bit worried that there’s malware or intrusive anti-virus running.

 

All-in-all, if you install the software everything the operating system needs is installed at the same time (C++ runtimes). From W7 through to W10 you’re good to go.

Different "Paul" here.....

While I too am a fan of HDSDR, I find SDR-Console V3 works just fine with RSP2 and on a laptop. In fact, I use V3 almost exclusively on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptop with either the touchpad or the Thinkpad Trackpoint. To tune to a specific frequency, tap on the waterfall. To tune up or down within the sampled bandwidth, scroll either way with whatever pointing device you are using. I don't see any material difference between tuning on V3 vs. HDSDR. In fact, I find V3 to be simpler and more intuitive than HDSDR because you don't have to worry about the "local oscillator".

Buggy integration in V3 with RSP2? I have found no bugs at all after updating to the current build. My only complaint is that where SDRUno stores the antenna selection with a stored memory channel, V3 does not. On the flip side, V3 stores the displayed bandwidth and SDRUno does not.

Hello,

I agree with Paul. I am using SDR Console V3 with my RSP2 on a daily basis since it is supported. I have not encountered any issue so far. Brilliant piece of software!
And IMHO: If authors would stick to modelling full featured transceivers/receivers evolution would come to a stand still...

Cheers,

Frans
