SDR# SDR# not showing signal

[ithetwitch]

Hello,

I am currently having an issue where my RTL_SDR_V4 dongle isn't showing the receiving signals in SDR# but SDRTrunk is able to show the freqencies that were being transmitted. I have honestly tried everything myself to resolve this issue but I am currently stuck on why its not showing anything at all. Not even the 800 MHz range either.

Is the RTL device selected as the receiver in SDR#?

 

[ithetwitch]

Yes

 

[maus92]

Have you ever been able to receive using this exact sdr with SDR#?

 

[ithetwitch]

I haven't been able to receive with the other 2 RTLSDRs but they work perfectly fine with SDRTrunk.

 

[ithetwitch]

UniTrunker works just fine

Are you raising the gain in sdr#? Believe it defaults to zero at start up.

Did you run the RTL-SDR installation script included in the SDR# download? Also, read the following to make sure you have the updated drivers for V4, etc.

yeah I did raise the gain but nothing was really showing besides the noise in the waterfall.

yeah that is what I did too. I might have to install the latest driver again but I have a remote location of the exact same setup and it works w/o issue.
