SDR# V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio

[Saint]

I just ordered an RTL-SDR V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio Dongle, I am using an old DVB-T+DAB+FM Dongle now with AIRSPY SDR# Studio v1.0.0.1919.

I am hoping the new dongle will work better. Also was wondering if I need to change anything in SDR# Studio v1.0.0.1919 to get the v4 dongle to work, or do I just plug in the new dongle, and it will work with SDR# Studio v1.0.0.1919.
Thanks for any information you may have for me.
Steve

Think the drivers need to be updated then it should work.

What do you mean by “work better”? What issues are you having?

Think he is referring to the cheap 10 dollar china dongle many of us started with. You know, the ones that drifted off freq, lol

Are you sure that "RTL-SDR V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio Dongle", that Saint bought, is the same as "RTL-SDR  Blog V4" ???
