Win10 RTL-SDR - no support. GNU Radio? #870

Closed bogus105 closed 3 years ago

bogus105 commented 3 years ago

I was trying to find issue #139 as metioned here in comments: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/reverse-engineering-signals-universal-radio-hacker-software/comment-page-1/#comment-216211

speciffically:

February 22, 2017 - 8:50 am Jerome The author tolds on the issues board of the project, that RTL-SDR is not natively supported. One must use a GnuRadio backend (see bug #139). Any volounteers is needed to add native rlt-sdr support !

Please direct me how to make URH work on my Win10 64-bit. Thank you and thank you for the great piece of software!

This comment is very old, RTL-SDR works of the box on Windows natively. Just use the exe installer on the releases page: https://github.com/jopohl/urh/releases/tag/v2.9.2

On the screenshot you posted RTL-SDR is enabled through native backend...

bogus105 commented 3 years ago

If so i don't understand why it's not working when i want to record any signal? Why is shows "not available"?

So the native support is working. This error code comes from the RTL-SDR driver. Did you google it? Some things that come to my mind:

  1. Try run URH as administrator
  2. Try a different USB port
  3. Not sure if this is needed for RTL-SDR but for HackRF you need to install driver with Zadig. Might be worth a shot.
