RX888 driver for Windows 10 using Console 3

#1

Unread post by wz0zzz »

I downloaded the SDR Console 3 and the drivers from this site but I am not certain where the drivers are supposed to go.
I have the RX888 to use with it, however, since I have not figured out how to use the ywo together yet, I tried my old RF Space SDRIQ. That works perfectly, but I would like to get the RX888 working asap. What exactly do I need to do with the drivers? Are there any step by step instructions or HELP files available?
I have had this radio for a few months now and still can't get ut working.
A;so, I have a new HP Laptop with Windows 10 with 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A (Data Transfer Only); & 1 USB 2.0 Type-A (Data Transfer Only)Does the fact that they say data transfer only mean it cannot power the RX888 even though they are 3.1?

My notes "If it's drivers then Device Manager looks like the left picture here https://www.sdr-radio.com/rx-666#Driver if good like the right.
If the driver on Simon's link is no good try the one that worked for me found:- http://withrobot.com/en/technical-data/ ... ent&uid=20 downloaded:-

"
My guess is that "data transfer only" means just that. USB3 is rated at a few Amps out, a lot for a laptop.

Don't know how that box appeared?
