RTL V4 Drivers

[BerfH]

I have a Nooelec dongle that I have set up with SDR Trunk and decided to add one of the newer V4 RTL-SDR Blog Dongles from Amazon. When I first set up the Nooelec, I just loaded SDR++ and it found the drivers and everything worked.

I've read there are some potential driver issues with the V4, and before I get it, I just wanted to ask what is the proper method to set up the drivers for it? Do I need to download some special drivers, or is there something out of the ordinary I need to do to make the drivers work?

Newer releases of sdrtrunk will have the correct .dll , when you get the rtl-sdr blog v4, you will need to run zadig (once) to install the correct system driver.

Thanks for that info. Sounds like it isn't a big deal.

Yes. I had to re-install Windows 11 Pro in my VM and tried running my v4 with SDR Console and it would not work, then remembered this tip.

I downloaded and ran zadig and all was good. Thanks for the reminder @PDXh0b0!

Dongle arrived this afternoon. Downloaded zadig and ran it. Everything works just peachy. Took me a whole 45 seconds to get it up and running.

Just have to ask, do you wake up on the wrong side of the bed everyday or do you just have more problems than a math book?

Only a handful of people have issues getting these dongles running. There is plenty of help offered to those who ask for it. Even though you did not ask, help was offered to you (twice) which you most likely declined.

Message me if you would like to use teamviewer to work it out

Hence the offer of one on one help..🤷🏼

Can't contact someone that is blocked OH YEAH YOU HAVE TO BE A PAID MEMBER THAT THE CATCH????

If you cant accept the help that was offered, please stop *****ing and moaning like a little child. There are only 3 possibilities. Either the dongle has an issue. Your pc has an issue. Or you are just not cut out for this stuff which does happen time to time.

Without accepting help, you will never know where the issue(s) are.
