I like your original version of it. Of course, YouTubers with big channels sometimes mumble about two digit peta byte drives. (14 digits.) And indeed, maybe 25,000 SDRSharp installs will fit on a 1 terrible byte drive.

If you unzip the new version in a different temporary folder, delete the default configaration file, and then move all the remaining files to the permanent SDR# folder, all should be fine. I do this all the time when installing betas.

Re: SDR# r1921 Release Candidate for 2025

 

That's a trick question. Since you can have as many SDRSharp installs as you want within the space limitations on your hard disk. I have a couple dozen versions ready to run when I want. I don't use them often. They're just there in case I want to go way back. Each time I download a new version I create two copies of it. One I leave unchanged. I copy a full set of .config files into the other from the rolling install I have. Then I delete rolling install and rename the updated copy to plain "sdrsharp". Every once and awhile this doesn't work and I have to copy the newly installed config files into the rolling install and play with settings until I like it again.

Um, I also have a "KUSC" install. I seldom change it. I have it running all the time for background music. (After all, disk space is free these days. My old M20 Morrow Designs Discus system and two 19 MB drive cost over a kilobuck and today that 38 megabytes costs pocket fluff. And that is real close to the size of an SDRSharp install.)

Re: FM Co-Channel Canceller

 

Hello Les,

Maybe quadrature detectors can help when two NBFM stations are
nearly on the same frequency. If you can provide a wideband .wav
file I could make some testing to see if this idea could be useful.

Serious DXer of the FM Broadcast Band, who has used FM Co-Channel Canceller
with success for the past two seasons. The DSP is almost like magic at
times. Bravo.

We've also been trying to use it on the NOAA Weather Radio Band at 162 MHz,
in the narrowband FM mode, but without success. Has anyone been successful
in using the Co-Channel Canceller on NFM?

Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.

Re: SDR# r1921 Release Candidate for 2025

 

I am also planning a self-contained dotnet 8 build for the "clinically dead" plugins, ie. ones that are no longer maintained. This build doesn't need a dotnet 8 installation. 


Re: SDR# r1921 Release Candidate for 2025

 

Thanks for that David

Jim,

Glad to hear that the RTL_SDR is working correctly.

The difference is that one uses an earlier version of .Net and the other a later
version.  Just means that is you don't yet have the .Net9 runtimes you don't
(yet) need to download and install it.

Cheers,
David

Thank you Prog for adding client side buffering in SDR# for Spyserver connections. It has helped greatly with my earlier reported issues with non full IQ narrow band streaming.

Jim,

Just checked on both the x86 and the x64 (executables from 2024-12-28) versions
and with both AGCs disabled the gain control works as expected. I ran the
supplied install-rtlsdr.bat program, at least on the x64 version. Tested with
an RTL-SDR.COM v3 dongle purchased in July-2022.

David
