RX-888 Mk2 not working
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2022 9:15 pm
I occasionally use my RX-888 Mk2. I just loaded Simons's latest v3.2 SDRC software and tried it out. The RX-888 Mk2 was not discovered. I tried my original RX-888 ad that is working. I believe the hardware has issues.
Can anyone suggest any troubleshooting tips for my Mk2?
All of my SDR receiver is fed by and active W8ZR HF Multicoupler so I don't suspect EMI issues via the antenna port. I once kept it powered up for a couple of hours so heat may have damaged a chip.
I like viewing a wide portion of bandwidth 8 to 32 Mhz. Could anyone suggest another SDR which can receive a wide spectrum at a reasonable price. Are there any new products coming onto the market this year?
If I elect to buy another RX-888 Mk2 can anyone recommend a reputable vendor?
