How To: Use SDRangel Version 6 with Microsoft Windows 10 (November 2020)

[@falsedragon33]

I don't use windows a lot, but I am trying to get SDRAngel working on my drafting computer. There is so much missing in the Windows version. I can't figure out, if they just didn't build it for the windows installation, or the plugins I'm after only work in Linux. I want the KiwiSWR and Map plugin. ADSB his hard to watch without the 3d Map.

The Windows version is 100% compiled the same as the same Linux Version. Which "features" or "channels" are you feeling are not there? You could also have some issue with video related to OpenGL or something in Windows environment creating an issue, but I find that is rare on a modern (post 2019) computer. Message me direct as I am working on a video I may want your input on at [e-mail]

Hey Steve do I hear out of Colorado Lighter video

The RTLSDR V3 device doesn't show up in the drop down so I can't add it. I've manually copied the RTL DLL from the SDRsharp directory (SDRsharp is working btw), and restarted SDR Angel...any ideas?

[@hvdnmedia]

You may need to hit the refresh button in SDRangel. Or, your system may be thinking your SDR-RTL V3 is still in use by another application like SDR#. Make sure that is not running and try it again.

I dont see the waterfall, nor a way to enable it...?

[@jacquesmertens3369]

I would be VERY happy to find software without that childish waterfall. My firewall blocks SDRAngel. I suppose there's a valid reason for it.

[@videodude8137]

Why would your firewall block it? What does it block it from doing? Probably your anti-virus, lol.

@@videodude8137 If you have nothing to say, then why do you comment?

[@videodude8137]

The waterfall is very useful. @videodude8137 is correct. He did say something!

[@srcejon]

​@@jacquesmertens3369the waterfall can be turned off, so you just see the spectrum. Your firewall is probably blocking the SDRangel API server, which allows SDRangel to be controlled by other applications or your own code (it can run without a GUI)

Please move your mic away from the mouse and closer to your mouth.

Agree. This is annoying!!

[@falsedragon33]

I don't think he is a professional KZbinr. Just a friendly guy willing to share the RTFM part of things. I'm sure he has better things to do, and doesn't want to put too much effort into it. For most people, even with a loud mic, this is better than without it. We should be careful what we wish for, and understand why more people don't share.

[@hvdnmedia]

Thanks for backing me up. Yes, I am not a "pro" and I did not want to reshoot the video. The clicks were captured in the screen recording software and not my mic. That has been corrected since. Maybe that is why I do not have 68k follows likes @gearObsession does. ;)
