There Must Be An Easier Way

[SDR BOX SET]

Hi all, newbie here. I just got a DVB-T+DAB+FM dongle with the old MCX receptacle which I already ordered an antenna & corresponding cable for, I tried downloading all the required files with no luck, I even tried numerous Youtube tutorials but the guys are talking way too fast & even with pausing the video to keep up with their mouse race, nothing works. The dongle is good, once the screen came up but a box opened up saying the device was not connected, I deleted all the files & will try again when the antenna is connected to make sure there are no RF reception issues, can somebody please send me a very basic step by step tutorial that I can follow? Thanks in advance.

OM, 

Step 1: Install the driver named Zadig PROPERLY. (If you still on Windows XP there's a separate one!)

Step 2: Install SDR# properly.

Step 3: Test the dongle by starting rtl_test.exe

Step 4: In case the test was succesful, break rtl_test.exe by CTRL-C

Step 5: Start rtl_tcp like this: rtl_tcp 127.0.0.1:1234

Step 6: Start SDR# and choose RTL-SDR/TCP from menu at the top left

Step 7: Click on PLAY 

Step 8: Click on Configure and move the slider to the right for the best sensitivity plus choose AGC if you want

Step 9: Some cosmetics may be done on the waterfall speed etc.

Step 10: Applause!

My expirience:

RTLSDR V4 is pretty deaf in lower bands

compared to commercial SWL radios like AOR's or Sony ICF2001 for example

I testet with my of antenna equipment:

BBC-Perselector

Mini whip with sheat wave filter

20/40m dipol.

In higher frequencies,is quiet better

2m/70cm with discone

ADSB with lambda/4 and sma-filter

137 Nooa with 2 cross dipols or

1Helicoidal antennas works well.

I compared with an old Ar8200 and a 3000A

Despite preselector the SDR/V4 becomes quickly
