RSP3_tcp issue with new SDRPlay RSP API v3.15 installed. #153

Closed MW0CDO closed 6 months ago

MW0CDO commented 6 months ago

Hello Clem.

Since SDRPlay dev team released SDRConnect Preview 3 along with a new API v3.15, QIRX now cannot access the stream. The error message is:

Error Starting IQ data server RSP3_tcp Please check your configuration or your TCP/IP connection!

Everything was fine until the installation of the preview, so I'm certain it is not configuration or TCP/IP settings.

I asked Andy, one of the SDRConnect developers and he very kindly investigated and I paste his comments & findings below for you.

[Andy Play] just as a follow up, I just rebuilt rsp3_tcp myself and all I did was change the Visual Studio project properties to point to the installed API 3.15 instead of the included API 3.10, built it and it started and found my RSPdx - now that was just a quick test, I won't redistribute this because I don't know what this is doing and then I'd have to support it, but I just wanted to show what the issue was.

I know it's a 'cheeky request', but could you please rebuild RSP3_tcp as Andy says above?

Many thanks!

Thanks for this input. I hadn't followed the new versions recently. I hope it won't be a big issue. What is also still pending in this respect, is the inclusion of the RSP1B identification. Will check also the 3.15 API whether it contains new features.

Just released the RSP3_tcp V0.3.11 to GitHub. It works with the SDRplay API 3.15. The device range includes the new RSP1B and the RSPdxR2.

The binary RSP3_tcp.exe can be found in the RSP3_tcp GitHub repository under RSP3_tcp/x64/Release

The Debug version can be built according to the instructions there.

Tested on Win11.

For use with current QIRX 4.2.2, just copy the RSP3_tcp.exe together with the sdrplay_api.dll into your QIRX install directory.

Before you start with this, make sure that you are running the V3.15 of SDRplay's service. Check in Win under ComputerManagement -> Services and Applications -> Services -> SDRplay API Service (v3.15). The sdrplay_api.dll unfortunately shows no version number in Win Explorer.
