RSPduo+SDR-Radio / endless toggling of transmit

#1

Unread post by AI5I »

I'm trying to get SRD-Radio running with an RSPduo. The installation mostly went OK, with the exception of the following problems:

(1) SDR-Radio V3.1, 64bit, 2021-08-03_1111 wants SDRPlay 3.06 API and not the current version 3.08

19:09:52.298: Radio SDRplayV3: Connect> API version don't match (local=3.06 dll=3.08)

I downloaded the correct version (3.06) and rebuilt.

(2) Some unhappiness with OmniRig 1.20

16:29:21.906@OmniRig: initialising...
16:29:21.906@OmniRig: connecting to existing instance
16:29:21.907@OmniRig: failed

16:29:21.933@Error creating OmniRig instance (Flags = CLSCTX_ALL) - Error Code 0x800702E4, possibly 'The parameter is incorrect. '.

16:29:21.937@OmniRig: creating instance (Flags = CLSCTX_ALL | REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE)
16:29:21.941@Error creating OmniRig instance (Flags = CLSCTX_ALL | REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE) - Error Code 0x800702E4, possibly 'The parameter is incorrect. '.

Discussions at various places on the Internet suggested that there's an issue with OmniRig 1.20 so I installed OmniRig 1.19 next as an experiment and rebuilt yet again. This appeared to cure the OmniRig-based problem.

(3) SDR-Console comes up but when I start it, my TS590s (the transceiver which is the external radio) toggles in and out of transmit endlessly.

I've had SDR-Radio working correctly before on this computer. I've dismantled all the interface switching between the RSPduo and the TS590s to simplify the system. Only the USB interfaces to the TS590s and the RSPduo are running.

Using SDR-Radio Version 3.1, 64-bit, beta version, doesn't resolve the problem.


So, I'd like some suggestions as to what to try next.

OK. Problem solved, I believe.

There were SDR-Radio directories left over from the earlier installation and from before I had to reconfigure the computer after some mayhem introduced by a Microsoft Windows update several months ago. So, I uninstalled SDR-Radio and SDRPlay. I removed all directories associated with these. Then I reinstalled OmniRig, SDRPlay 3.08, and SDR-Radio 3.1. I tested OmniRig with the test program --- also available from Afreet --- and the CAT control to the TS590s worked correctly. Then I followed the interface procedure and all worked correctly.

The clues were that SDR-Radio wanted the SDRPlay 3.06 API rather than the current version, 3.08, which I had installed initially, and OmniRig was running correctly, but SDR-Radio reported that it was trying to connect to an existing instance.

Spoke too soon. When I enabled one of the secondary slices with "Select", the transceiver went into TX mode. Then I crashed out of SDR-Console in some ugly way. Now when I start up SDR-Console, I can't get OmniRig to start because there are conflicting instances of OmniRig. Stopping OmniRig and uninstalling/re-installing doesn't cure the problem.
