It's all about the Software

Thanks jdow. Could be, but I tried USB ports on 3 different PCs. Also, there was power reaching at least to the RX-888 LED which turned on when plugged in. Hi! One stupid question ;) I read all your posts and don know do you try that usb3 cable with other devices and do you try rx888 with different...

Thanks fei666888. I have emailed the seller (topskyrc) but I have not had a response yet. Dave Thanks Allan and fei666888. Originally I could see the Cypress FX3 USB device in Device Manager but now nothing appears at all- the RX-888 is simply not recognised. I have now tried it on 3 different compu...

Thanks jdow. Could be, but I tried USB ports on 3 different PCs. Also, there was power reaching at least to the RX-888 LED which turned on when plugged in.

I have now tried it on 3 different computers - still no success. I now think that it is the RX-888 that has developed a fault rather th...

Hi Alan
Did you get your RX-666 working? No luck here with my RX-888. It seems dead.

Jim- thanks for message. I understand now...

Thanks Alan No Windows noise on USB connection and the RX-888 is not in the Device list. Not seen by SDRC as a device. When I first installed it came up as 'Westbridge'. Then I downloaded the Cypress FX3 drivers. All was well...for a while. Just now I did manage to get one 'recognition' (Windows USB...

RX888 arrived yesterday. Set up was straightforward after downloading Cypress drivers. It worked very nicely with SDRC. I could access 0-30MHz bandwidth but with high CPU usage (>50% on old i7). RX performance (on ham bands) was similar to my Anan 200D. Then, after a few hours of playing, I re-boote...
