I've removed the Dongle, re booted the PC, re inserted the Dongle anf fired up ZADIG.
From the Device menu I've selected Bulk, Interface (interface 0)(interface 0)
This results in the Driver slot displaying Driver WinUSB (V6.1.7600.16385 From the selection in the slot alongside, which do I pick? Gerry Winskill On 28/05/2013 17:37, John Woodside wrote:
Just as a recap your RTL1090 folder should include the following files extracted from the RelWithDebInfo.zip (or the XP equivalent). Lib-usb1.0.dll Msvcr100.dll Rtlsdr.dll If they are present and the program still doesn't run it has to be the Zadig XP drivers which are the problem.

At the press of a button I can switch between PC display and FR24 display. I now have the latter displaying on this 23"monitor.Even better each aircraft has departure and destination airfield codes displayed. Bliss.

The dongle was originally designed to tune into Asian TV broadcast and display the TV signals on a PC. It comes with software and drivers to do this but the CD is only fit for using as a coaster and should never be touched here in the UK. But some clever people have realised that this device is picking up data well beyond its published range and will decode any radio signals between 48MHz and 2GHz. So, if users get tired of watching aircraft with their dongle they can shut down RTL1090 and load up an SDR program called SDRSharp (or SDR#) and scan through all those frequency bands. Picture at http://www.hackni.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/sdr_fm_rado_2.0_s a mple .jpg I haven't managed to get it working yet. It is either a W7 driver issue or the RTL USB DLL that needs fiddling with (it defaults to RTL TCP). Jon has it working so I am waiting for his advice before going further. But 48MHz to 2GHz is a huge band to scan through and includes bands that access is usually impossible to listen to. I'll keep you posted on progress. John Woodside bones@xxxxxxx
