Re: SDRPlay lost SDR#-support ?

The @sdrsharp Twitter feed had a link last night for a version of SDR# that was still compatible with the SDRplay, until a new driver compatible with .NET 4.6 is developed:

I haven't tried it yet, but I did download that ZIP file to have a copy of it.

Re: Unable to select Bandwidth INPUT sampling rate. Only OUTPUT rate.

No it is the header of *.WAV files that limits the size to 2 Gb not the file system of the hard drive. I saw several sources online cite the WAV file size limit is 4 GB. In any event, HDSDR will write a new WAV file once it reaches the size limit specified in that pop-up window. Regardless of file ...

Re: Unable to select Bandwidth INPUT sampling rate. Only OUTPUT rate.

Nice topic. Thanks! I agree that Wide band IQ recordings is the main advantage of SDR's. It allows careful studies of rare events like propagation or interference . Even high grade spectrum analysers are often less efficient than RTLSDR's on that ground. The only problem is that using *.WAV files l...

Re: Unable to select Bandwidth INPUT sampling rate. Only OUTPUT rate.

Under the Bandwidth INPUT side of the Sampling Rate column I am not able to select any of the displayed sampling rates. No problem on the Output side. I can select any of those. Does anyone have a suggestion on why I cannot select the input rates and what's preventing this? Thanks and 73, Bob KW4CQ...

Re: signal strength very high in HDSDR

I just got my SDRPlay and had no problem setting it up. I already use HDSDR with my softrocks (3X) and KX3, so I am fairly familiar with the interface. My first impressions are quite positive. One thing I find curious, the signal level coming into the HDSDR seems quite high. To get a reading on the...

Re: Recorder for making an audio clip?

The Recorder feature in HDSDR does a great job of recording and playing back full spectrum recordings. I would like to make an audio clip of just the signal I am tuned to (SSB or CW) and send listen to it later or send it to a friend. Anyone have a suggestion how I might accomplish this within HDSD...

Re: SDRPlay and Linx 8 tablet

Hi! I had time over the weekend to se eif I could make the SDRplay work as a downlink receiver for amateur satellites, as part of my full-duplex station (transmitting from a Yaesu FT-817ND). After tweaking some settings for the SDRplay, I was able to hear myself through the FUNcube-1 (AO-73) satelli...

Re: SDRPlay and Linx 8 tablet

Mirics are still investigating the issue with Windows 8.1 on tablets. Just to be clear this is an issue for Windows tablets only. We hope to have some more information soon. Best regards, SDRplay As I posted in another part of the forum, the new v1.5.0 API is working fine on my Windows tablets - no...

Re: Windows driver installation

Hi! I had posted on Twitter previously about the issues between my SDRplay and my Windows tablets (8-inch HP Stream 8 with 1 GB RAM, 10-inch Winbook TW100 with 2 GB RAM). They started with "Windows 8.1 with Bing", and both have since been upgraded to Windows 10 Home. After the release of the v1.5.0 ...
