RTL serial number programming facility.

It had escaped my notice that the SDR Console has the ability to set the serial
number for RTL dongles. Just tried it, and it works nicely. Many thanks for that, Simon! 73, David GM8ARV -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: https://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@... Twitter: @gm8arv |

Hi David.
Could you please show us the way to do this. Screenshots, maybe. Any special precautions one have to obey to do it in a safe way? 73 / Ingolf, SM6FHZ |

Hi David.Ingolf, Some way into this discussion: https://sdr-radio.groups.io/g/main/topic/error_using_two_identical/33088547 I found this set of instructions, with screenshots in the dialogue: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Select first dongle radio and Start it. 2. On Home ribbon, click Radio Configuration. 3. Click EEPROM tab. 4. Click Load - if values don't come up right away and you get "EEPROM not found" error, try it again a few times, or Stop/Start radio and try again. 5. Once values populate, edit Serial # and click Save. 6. Repeat steps for other dongles with the exact same serial numbers so they're different. 7. Open separate instances of SDR Console v3 (start menu > SDR-Radio.com v3 Tools > Select Identity. 8. Set up new radio definitions in each identity. You should now be able to run different multiple RTL-SDR USB dongles at the same time by opening separate instances/identities of SDR Console v3. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The only thing which surprised me was that you had to have the dongle actually running before the Radio Configuration button was visible. I had thought that it would be an "offline" adjustment, but I can see that ensuring the device is properly connected makes sense. I've done several, but I'm only using one in anger for a Raspberry Pi 137 MHz automated APT receiver, and it's working just the same with the updated dongle. Precautions: don't unplug the dongle while it's updating! 73, David GM8ARV -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: https://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@... Twitter: @gm8arv |

Thank you David for sharing.
I was not aware of this option. I have not been using my RTL dongles for some time and had not followed the development of the functions for them. It was very easy once you found it and was aware of it. 73 es Happy Easter / Ingolf, SM6FHZ |
