re: software for the dkd2 sdr scanner

On the Ebay sale I got 2 of the RTL DKD2 sdr radio USB sticks along with 2 antennas. Is there any freeware software that can handle both radio USB sticks at the same time. The people that put this radio USB sticks together picked a weird set of software to download and the instructions are not easy to follow even for moderately experienced tech like my self. All the software that I have looked at so far can only handle 1 radio stick or the other. But not both at the same time.

Even the eBay ad shows two instances of the SW running (at least the ad I see).

I think that's what anyone with more than one dongle does.

Voyager is 100% correct. It is running two instances. I do it all the time with my sdrs. If your going to do this with HDSDR then i would suggest you look into setting up the profiles feature of HDSDR. It allows you the separate all the settings per radio on one install of HDSDR

My two instances also with profiles being used. I use two monitors. I do not run it snapped left and right

I have SDRSharp running with the new 1 of the 2 new USB SDR radio sticks that I just traided for with a local ham operator for. The 2 USB SDR radio sticks that I got from the Ebay sale went belly and croaked. In order for the seller to make the 4 port USB hub sit on the mounting bolt of the mini tripod, the seller drilled a hole in the bottom of the 4 port USB hub and cracked the pc board inside the hub. It worked for a short time then both USB sdr radio sticks started getting warm and started to smoke. I saved my laptop by pulling the usb plug to the sdr radio sticks.
Anyways I am a newbee to this stile of software for the USB sdr radio sticks. I have fig out the SDRSharp software fig out for analog transmitions. But not the HDSDR software or the DSDPlus software.

Yes I got my refund via Paypal today. There wasn't relay anything wrong with the 2 RTL radio sticks. It is what the seller did to the 4 port USB hub that fried the 2 RTL radio sticks. By drilling into the bottom of the USB hub. Then cracking the pc board and the IC chip on the top side of the pc board. I am surprised that the whole thing lasted as long as it did.
