I guess we could ask.....
AOR 5700D 2023
- Thread starter SigIntel8600
- Start date
When using SDR# are both USB cables and the IQ dongle required?Try using the 5700 with the sdr# software, it works very good and you have a hi-res spectrum display.
Version 1920 supports the AOR 5700.

For SDR# you only need the two usb cables (one for remote and one for IQ data), no dongle.
The dongle is only needed to run the AOR supplied AR-IQ-III software
Got it! Successfully installed all the AOR software and SDR# yesterday and finally got all of it to work. Only negative is neither package will allow me to change from ANT1 to ANT2, not sure yet what might be causing that. I'm using a 10 year old i5 laptop with 8gb memory as a temporary test bed so the processing power for the IQ portion is lacking but I can't see why neither package would allow me to change antennas.
It seems to be a radio "feature"
Just checked, indeed ANT1 to ANT2/HF switching doesn't work on HF, however it should work higher than 25MHz.
(for me on VHF I was able to switch)...
If you read the manual (page 9, connecting an antenna), it seems that the antenna port functions are inversed when using I/Q (so with SDR#).
Normal case= standalone radio:
ANT1: 25MHz-3.7GHz
ANT2/HF: 9kHz-3.7GHz
IQ case (=SDR#/AR-IQ-III via IQ OUT) or IF case(using 10Mhz IF OUT):
ANT1: 9kHz-3.7GHz
ANT2/HF: 25MHz-3.7GHz
So, something to take into account when connecting antenna's..
Amazing! Gotta wonder what the thinking is behind the code writers at AOR. Thanks for the tip.

Question for 5700D owners.
Does it decode the C4FM VW (improved voice) in addition to the classic DN. I saw that the next DV-1 firmware will accept VW decoding, which is not currently the case .

Good question. A firmware update would be required. Radios would need to be sent to Japan for the firmware upgrade if and when it becomes available.
Hi I would like to have a gripe.
The backup fails more times than it works..WTF.
No update path except the path to Japan….WTF.
Memory editor…WTF.
ARIQ. Not worth bothering with.
on the other hand there’s nothing to compete with it on funtionality…unfortunately

No usable TETRA down here Hertfordshire. I can hear some but encrypted.

London Underground share 390 -395MHz in the clear with Airwave, but you need to be near the rails or stations to hear them...
Not much chance of that then. Basically the TETRA side of these things is a waste of time in the UK so we are paying for something that doesn’t work in the UK. The only good thing is it covers DMR and the ham digital prtocols.

I was trying to be of help as you are not a million miles from a London Underground station
Thanks they didn’t bring the tube out this way nearest is Oakwood near Southgate north London, much too far. Im up the A10I was trying to be of help as you are not a million miles from a London Underground station
