SDR# v1.0.0.1583 and scanner plugin ???

[Saint]

I installed SDR# v1.0.0.1583 and it's working, I went to the Russian web site and downloaded the scanner plugin and installed the .DLL into sdr# directory, I then copied and pasted the line into the sdrsharp.exe.config file.

When I put the scanner line into the sdrsharp.exe.config file I put the line in at the bottom of the file and save it but when I go back into the config file it's been moved to another line in the file. ????, this is the line I add.
<add key="Frequency Scanner" value="SDRSharp.FrequencyScanner.FrequencyScannerPlugin,SDRSharp.FrequencyScanner" />


this is the SDR.EXE.CONFIG FILE.

You need to put that "magic line" in the plugins.xml file, not where you have it.

 

[slicerwizard]

You haven't stated what the issue is. Or is it important where the line is in the file?

And what's the space doing in there?

 

[Saint]

line in file

You need to put that "magic line" in the plugins.xml file, not where you have it.

I took the line out of the config file and put it into the plugins.xml file and still the frequency scanner does not show up in sdr# program

There is a space as mentioned. P lugin. If it got copied into plugins.xml like that that's why it failed. Also, make sure there are no extra characters in that file. I expect you also copied the .dll file into the root of your program folder.

Found the problem

:lol: Ok I found the problem you pointed out to me I missed it the first time it was the extra space in the line like you told me, the scanner is now installed into sdr#. I have to go back to the site and find the help file to see how to set the scan up. thanks so much for your patients and your help.

Well Slicerwizard found that one, but all of the plug-ins do go into the plugins.xml file now, that was a change several revisions ago. Enjoy!

Need a little bit more help

I have the frequency scanner installed but can't figure out how to setup a scan between to frequencies, how would I put in a scan from 125.000 MHz to 130.000 mhz. I can open a box but not able to setup the scan. Here is the screen capture.

Does this scanner plugin work with only RTL-SDR radios, or does it work with all radios compatible for SDR#?

I don't normally use SDR# but since it works with the new PlutoSDR I'm checking it out. The scanner plugin looks like it's doing everything it's supposed to but it doesn't tune the radio.
