AIRSPY SDR# STUDIO, v 1.0.0 1920 (scanner problem)
I made a YouTube video of a problem I am experiencing with the Airspy program when scanning the military aircraft band.

Hi Saint,

I have similar problem with RTL-SDR v3,
When I turn on scanning everything is all right, until it "crash". Like on the picture, scanning continues thru all milband but waterfall and spectrum not moving at all.
It only happend with my RTL-SDR, I tried Airspy Mini and it's all ok, looks like there is problem with software or dongle itself. I think.

Thanks for all the info, I hope in the next release of this software they fix this problem, if it's a problem with airspy sdr I have mentioned this before but see no fix for it. As you said it also could be the dongle itself. I am using the RTL-SDR.COM V3 Dongle.
Take care.

I found that the RTL-SDR v3 / Fast Scanner did that when V1920 was released. So I use V1843 with v3/Fast Scanner and V1920 with Airspy Mini.

Very interesting, I think I will download v1843 and see if I can get the same results you have. Thanks for the information, this might be a fix for me. Any idea where I can get v1843 software??

Thank you for the link. I'll give that a try. I just downloaded beta nineteen twenty one.Let's see how that works

Running the 'Detect' value so low will generally result in random stopping on frequencies that don't appear to have any activity.
For RTL dongles (Blues or RTL-SDR.com), a value of 70+ for 'Detect' I've found the best for these dongles.
The Airspy SDRs seem to work OK at lower values.
A value to low also will result in missing activity as well since it's trying to tune faster than the dongle is capable of.

Not sure if running the scanner with a value to low for extended periods is what is causing the signal to completely drop away though.
I've seen this occurring in Linux where after about 2 days, the RTL dongle (tried a few) goes deaf. I'm yet to determine why as it's using the same librtlsdr driver every other program uses.

Have you tried another RTL dongle to see if same happens?
Have you tried another PC with RTL dongle to see if same happens?
Have you tried a different version of SDR# (say v1716) to see if same happens?
It maybe the dongle playing up, OS, SDR# or plugin. Hard to say.

Thanks for all the information, I will try and see if it makes a difference. I dropped the detect down to 60 to see if that works, it's scanning the military band at 6.2 seconds, if that does not work, I will try detect at 70 and see what happens.

Hello.
Colleagues, tell me how to add plugins in new versions (1920)?
In old versions there was a Plugins.xml file, and plugins had magic lines and dll files in the description.
Please give detailed instructions. Thank you.

Maybe try making your own post about your problem instead of taking over this post, your post has nothing to do with this problem
