TRC-459 help needed

[press1280]

I’ll check it out although I do not see any switches wired into the radio

 

[press1280]

Got the dongle and downloaded the software showing the frequency screen but it’s not working. Is there a video that shows how to easily set this up?

Forgot what I downloaded, will check when I get home. I did download the zadig thing too

I'm running the Noo Smart SDR with HDSDR software...besides the Zidig USB driver for your computer you need a generic SDR DLL file
that you can select when you start your software if not it defaults to the Soundcard.

Hope this helps

Yes this is exactly what I have. I can’t figure it out. I’m to the point where I’d pay for software.

Is this it?

Ok
So you have the software installed
And you have the usb driver installed
You have down loaded the generic SDR DLL
File and put it in the the HDSDR directory
If you plug in the SDR into a USB port does it get detected?
Start the software does it ask for the dll or does it default to the sound card? If you talk at the pc mic does it show up on the screen as audio?
Go down the selections on the mid left side and select the input there you can select the SDR DLL file.
The whole thing should fire up at that point and your ready to go.

Let us know how far can you go before you stuck?

This is what it looks like to change the input !

HDSDR ?

Yes

RTLSDR (DVB-T/DAB with RTL2832) USB Is the file you need for the Noo SDR

 

[Fast1eddie]

Duh, is the TRC-459 connected to a good 50 ohm antenna?

Ok I downloaded this and put into the hdsdr directory. A window pops up “Rtl devices was found but could not open. Used by another application or Zadig not installed?”
When I then click on the extIO button it says “ExtIO DLL not active”.

It’s connected to a Sirio base antenna. I have a different radio connected right now with no issues as far as frequency goes.

When you select the DLL in the input do you compete the path?
Basically HDSDR is looking for the file even if its in its own directory ...You must link it or show it the path to activate.
Also you can only run 1 Program at a time. Make sure you dont have 2 HDSDR's running...

Shown below are multiple copies of the same file just so if one gets corrupt...

if you select from the options ( INPUT) and select EXTIO you should get this prompt !

It works!

Tried to transmit and I seem to be putting out signals all over the spectrum according to the SDR. Is that possible?

Turn your gain down on the SDR your too close also you don’t need an antenna on the SDR being that close either.
Also transmitting into a dummy load would be better for testing purposes.
