Appreciate the information. BTW: Was directed here from "Tom the Dilettante" video of 02-17-2021 who recommends this video for beginners just setting up RTL-SDR.
YYYEEEESSSS! Nailed it. I'm using a brand new lappy, running windows11. All of your steps, work out fine. NB...when I looked at my device manager, it didn't pick the device up as shown, rather it picked it up as 'other'. Just applied the driver to anything that said other and the triangle warning disappeared.....plugged it in.....jobs a good'un!! Thank you Smoking Ape. LEGEND.
SOS…SOS , I am having a hell pf a time trying to get mine working. I use a Mac Book about 10 years old running Catalina. From the internet I downloaded Cubic software and it started up nicely. My problem is all I can receive is spectral noise and see no pips. It also wont switch to AM mode, its stuck in FM, stations show up on the range bar , but no audio signals are detected. I am at my wits end with this Chinese crap. Does anyone have any suggestions?
@@erin19030 I literally spent weeks and gave up for almost a year then one I decided to try again and after trying 3 times on the last try I ran with administrator privileges and it worked.
Just set up my RTL-SDR following your instructions today and it was quick and painless. Thank you! Only difference for me is that it didn't even attempt to install the incorrect driver at first. It didn't install any driver. The process in zadig was about the same, only difference is the button says "install driver" instead of "replace driver"
Nice step by step instructions. Was having some problems with "Device not loaded" error. Followed other people's advice online with no luck. Found your video and BOOM I was up and running. Thanks!
Thanks for your content. I recently bought my 1st SDR and could not get the software to recognize the dongle. IO did not know you had to run the Zagdig. Now I'm on my way. Thanks
I'm not generally a fan of RUclips tutorials because they are usually convoluted. This was great - short, to the point and covered the details I missed when I tried to do it myself. Keep them coming please!
I'm running a MAC but have this working on a Windows 11 VM. Just buy a USB-A to USB-C adapter and you're good. Just have your hypervisor pass it through to the VM. Works like a charm thanks OP!
I just got mine set up from your video! So thank you! Im excited! I remember my dad had a shortwave radio portable from like the seventies or eighties or something, I can't wait to see his reaction to a usb version like this!! :) like father like son, lol!
Can't get HF reception, good antenna and FM very strong. Have the same unit you showed demonstrated, connect and disconnect the antenna with not notable difference in signal, at all. As if the receiver was dead. And thanks for the help.....N5QDM.
3:55 It's best to uninstall and delete the Windows USB driver, in Device Manager, before running zadig.exe. Sometimes things go wrong if you don't. For example, Bias Tee may not work.
Great fun. Thanks for the video. I currently live in an apartment where I can't set up my HF gear because of proximity to others, though I can run my 160m - 70cm QRP rig. It's nice to have a multi-band receiver right in my primary computer. I've got it on mostly 2m & public service bands & sometimes AM aircraft (I'm under the landing pattern for a major international airport). Again, thanks for the critical info on setting up the correct driver for the RTL-SDR. - 73 de N2NZ
Great informative video. Just ordered my RTL today. This is exactly what I was looking for as a cheaper alternative to a scanner for my shack. Could you possibly post a future video of your antenna setup for this? Thanks for the video. New Sub
Glad you liked the video and thanks for the sub! I use a bunch of different antennas depending on that I want to listen to, most of the time I use a roll up j-pole for 2m / 70cm. 👍
Thanks again. I am having fun with the sdr. I can only get the FM band now. I live in a apartment so finding a outside antenna will be difficult. But your video was perfect. Thank You
Great video. Thank You. I went to Airspy and this is what it said about the drivers. Is this an update? "Airspy is a plug-and-play device and does not require any particular driver installation on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. You just plug Airspy and Windows will download and install the right driver for you."
Fourth visit to the video while I set it up bit by bit but all working. Thanks for this great video. Had problems with the control panel as somehow I managed to delete them but back now.
Thanks for sharing. Josh had a short intro video about three years ago on SDR dongles and I credit an interest in SDR to my getting into amateur radio this past year. Back then I started searching YT for anything I could find on the subject and learned you could do a lot of fun things on a budget. Even a P25 police scanner. Now I am hooked on HF voice.
For a novice like me, this is extremely valuable information. Just getting started and this has helped immensely. Instant LIKE and SUBSCRIBED! Greetings from Alaska.
3rd try with installing this and the driver options do not exist for me. Radio and computers have never mixed and don't work. It's a shame that there's nobody to call for any help. Thanks for the videos and glad you're able to make it work, im returning this unit as it'll never happen for me. Computers make this hobby so frustrating. What a great way to get out of the hobby when stuff seems to work for everybody else, but not me. Sucks but whatever.
I had to buy the kit from ebay. It was more expensive. But your video got to me. I already downloaded the software. It should be alot of fun for me. I am retired and disabled. I spend my time in my apartment. I developed low blood pressure problems. I can't walk.
Thanks for your video! I had this program also previously on XP installed and running flawlessly, now new operating system. Have done everything so, however, with me 07:00 under "Device" nothing at all is displayed! When pressing the "Play" button appears the message "No device selected", although I had selected 'RTL-SDR (USB). But now You're my Hero and it works fine for me!
I am not seeing the Windows SDR Download package. Please let me know the correct package from those currently listed on the Airspy Downloads link. Thanks.
I had the same issue as well. Launch SDR sharp, and in the top left corner, right click the 3 lines. Then hover over “Source,” then right click “RTL-SDR USB.” Hope this helps!!
Nice video. Could you do a video that describes how to only update SDR# from a prior version without the complete install? For example, how do I save the custom settings such as Frequency Manager Scanner and add them to the new version? I have a 100 or so saved scanner channels and not interested in reinstalling them manually. Thanks
Primarily, I just want something to hear my audio from my station so I can adjust the EQ's without having to ask another operator for something like a "radio check" and otherwise needlessly subject myself to "opinions" of what audio qualities someone else "prefers". The last one I purchased didn't seem to want to work despite following all the directions here that I copied by hand like a secretary taking dictation to ensure doing it correctly. I'm again eager but gun-shy abut buying another one.
wow, great video, but after a few drinks and a bong hit or two, I need to setup a 2nd monitor to follow along, you move quickly through the tutorial. Love your videos to the MAX, Thank You. I'll get this SDR up and running! Thanks for being there
Hi, I want to thank you for your excellent video on installing SDR#. Unfortunately my Lenovo desktop 3i , running Windows 10, has been totally unable to recognize the RTL-SDR blog dongle. Believe me, I have tried everything to get it seen, but no joy. My next step is going to be converting my outdated MacBook to Linux Mint, and then using it to use RTS- SDR on that platform. In any case, thank you for an excellent video on the steps needed to install RTL-SDR on your computer. Many thanks, and I HAVE subscribed to you.
Im so close, i got the program installed but all i hear is white noise, i receive my noaa weather station on my uv-5r but i cant get on the laptop. Any tips im new
I'm guessing 4years ago this might have worked I don't think airspy wants you to use their software to use a different dongle but you need to buy their dongle to work with their software I can't get this tutorial to find the proper driver and I followed this tutorial to the T and can't get it to work any ideas on finding the older software and the old driver? any help would be appreciated Thanks
It took a few hours of computer wizardry but I got the app all downloaded, but now when I click on the application, the AIRSPY logo pops up and then nothing happens, what am I missing? Help
AirSpy crashed for me every time when I wanted change the frequencies, but SDR++ it works fine for me ;) Nice Feature is that it display FM Bandwidth , Marine Bandwidth, Air Band VOR/ILS Bandwidth and Satelite BandWidth ;)
Well I guess I spoke too soon. I have hooked the RTL-SDR to my vertical antenna for ham use and while my Yaesu 950 has great reception on short wave stations sdr sharp absolutely has nothing but slight static. I noticed that on "Zadig" there was not mention of the doogle for the drivers. So i'm thinking there is something missing. Can you help? Thanks
Thank you so much!!! I found the setting and all of a sudden there was just so much to choose from. I'm glad I stuck with it and you. thank you again.😃😃
Thanks for this video.... Upon plugging the dongle in after running the .bat file I don't see the REALTEC device under "Sound, video and game controllers". The device also doesn't show up in Zadig obviously. How do I fix that? Thanks in advance
I couldn't get the dongle you demonstrated (lack of supply to buy). I have a NESX SMART dongle. Following the steps I don't see it in my available devices and Windows still sees it as a Bulk-In. Cycling through the devices on the list most error with a (no device found) but some do get static, but I'm not picking up anything on the frequencies I can receive with my UV-5R like 162.400.
Would this kind of setup be possible on a Raspberry pi? I'm considering making a portable radio using this device with a raspberry pi and a power cord plugged into a car cigarette-lighter outlet, but I'm not sure how well that would work.
Thank you Mr Clarence Ape. I've been looking at this sdr but need more info on choices and maybe static discharge filters or common mode filter for them. I will do more homework, I want to use one on a spare old tablet.
I have been quite frustrated in trying to install SDRSharp on my Windows10 PC; from Downloads, Desktop, or elsewhere. How does one verify the .net runtime download🙁? , where should it be installed? Can someone explain? THANKS!

The dongles work well for VHF, UHF and higher. For lower bands I’d suggest SRRPlay... the dongles are easy to set up and are fun to play around with 👍
So do you have to have a call sign from ham to be able to listen with this software???
No, you do not
