WROA675 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Anyone with experience with the install and set-up for the RTL-SDR dongle that would be willing to help me out (no rush), it would be appreciated. I just got it, watched some YouTube videos, but I'm lost (starting from the download to my Window 10-PC). You can send me a PM and I'll give you my phone#...TIA.

tweiss3 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 What are you attempting to do with the RTL-SDR? I have a handful of them that I use from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a handful of them that I use from time to time. Want to scan, listen, monitor a large assorted bands and frequencies. However I can't seem to get past the download section. Following the website instructions and youtube tutorials I don't see the "install-rtlsdr.bat" file. Gotta run out with the kiddo right now to do some errands...be back later. 73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweiss3 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 If I remember, the stick itself is plug and play, there wasn't a driver required (that may be wrong, its been a few years). Problem with the RTL-SDR is it can only see 3.4MHz width at a time. For listening/logging, I use SDRTrunk software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link to what I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011HVUEME/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 AdmiralCochrane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPTU591 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Takes a while to figure out all the different sdr software, some are easier than others. Quick Start Guide (rtl-sdr.com) You can run a program called zadig for manual installation of just the driver. https://zadig.akeo.ie/downloads/ WROA675 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
