Hello,

Anyone using an SDRPlay RSP-2 (or-1) with SDR# ? (W10)

Would like to try, but very uncertain re what to download, from where, etc.

The SDRPlay Downloads for SDR# says, or implies, that you have to, only, use an older version (1500).

Anyone doing any of this that can possibly guide me a bit thru the installation ?

Thanks,
Bob

Sdrplay has a number of YouTube instructional videos. One of them might cover using SDR#. Having both RSP2 and AirSpy I have not done any crossover of applications. SDR# does have a simplified user interface, but the latest version of SDRUno has got me to thinking about selling the AirSpy.
Good Luck!
Mike

v1361 works very well with a 1, 1A or 2, you can download a zip of it from here:-

I have an SDR Play duo, haven't spent much time with it though as is the case for the Uniden stuff, if you're a Mac user like me your options are limited.

For Woodpecker,

Thanks for help.
Frankly, at my age now, I have a lot of trouble with YouTube's. Written is so much easier for me.
As usual, I am sure that I am missing a lot of the obvious.
Might I just ask this please:

I downloaded vers 1361.
Do I also need to download the Zadig items, or anything else ?
SDRPlay, as expected, is not listed as a Source option. Which Source do i pick ? (have an RSP-2)

Any Defaults to put in that you've found work would be most appreciated.

I can't get any audio other than static out of it.
What might i be doing wrong ? Anything else to download ?
Hints ?

Much thanks,
Bob

You need to have the sdrplay drivers installed then copy the ExtIO_SDRplay_RSP2.dll file into the sdrsharp directory, you may already have that on your PC or download it from sdrplay.

If you reboot your comp sometimes the SDR# will not work when loaded - I forget the error message, but it says the USBRTL cannot be found - but you will have to use the Zadig file to realign everything to work again. Just thought I might mention that, as it has happened to me more than once.

Hi Woodpecker and TailGator911,

Concerning SDR#:
Had it working fine, I thought, but now realize
I have this “problem”.

Would like to take the liberty of running it by you folks.
Really appreciate your help and time.
Understanding all the nuances now at my age is getting difficult.

If I turn on my W10 pc, and click on the SDR#
Application, all works just fine. Great.

But if I then click on the square STOP button, I cannot
get it to work again. Won’t start from the triangular Start button.
Have to totally shut down the pc, and then do a Re-Start.
Then, all is fine again.
Weird. Way beyond my technical ability to understand.

My guess is that the pc scans a different “list” of
“stuff” when starting, compared to just cycling
the START and STOP buttons when actually in the program.

Also, I have doubts that my file structure, and what I
have in each is correct.
Does this look correct:

Program Files (x86)
SDR# Folder I created
In this Folder, I have 2 Sub Folders:
SDRPlay
SDRSharp

In SDRPlay, there is an API Folder and also the
EXTIO_SDRPlay_RSP.dll

In SDRSharp, there is the main SDR# Application, all that goes with it, and also another EXTIO_SDRPlay_RSP2.dll

Does the file structure look right, or should one Folder
be inside another, or…?

Thanks again for help.
Really appreciated.

Bob

When it freezes after stopping … if you go up to the drop down menu is it showing your RTLdongle? Or are you getting No Device Found?

If you haven't moved anything (files) around on your own, then the files should be fine the way they originally installed.
