Running RTL-SDR.com and FlightAware Pro Stick Plus dongles simultaneously on Windows

[jtmathome]

I had an RTL-SDR.com V.3 dongle up and running on Windows 10. Then I installed a FlightAware Pro Stick plus dongle, it runs great! I can't seem to use them simultaneously though. I know they are both essentially rtl-sdr dongles on the inside. How do I run them both simultaneously? Is there a way to name them differently in Windows system? Thanks ahead of time.

You start by using rtl_eeprom.exe to ensure your dongles have unique serial numbers, then you use software that lets you target a specific dongle. If you advise what software you use, someone should be able to give better guidance.

plug in the FlightAware , start up whatever ads-b software (dump1090) once that it running plug in the rtl-sdr and use away

I'm using Virtual Radar Server w/dump1090 on the FlightAware dongle and SDRSharp on my RTL-SDR.com dongle. I've downloaded the RTLTool that supposedly replaced rtl_eeprom.exe .

How about that...I did what PDXh0b0 recommended and it worked! I thought I tried before but maybe restarting my computer made the difference. Thanks again!
