to Linrad

HI All

I have an SDRPlay RSP1 to try out.

I installed SDRuno and got it running. It seems pretty limited.

I am trying to get Linrad going on the SDRPlay and set up for those options.

First Linrad complained about the driver and I used Zadig to replace the ms12500 driver with the WinUSB driver as suggested by Linrad. I don't know how Zadig knew that is the driver I needed.

This seems to have made progress for me, but now SDRuno no longer works. It complains that there is no RSP1 likely because it does not like the WinUSB driver that Zadig put in there.

I went back to Linrad and tried a few things.

First I tried the highest sampling rates and the widest bandwidths. Linrad complained that there was not enough memory and suggested messing with the waterfall. I don't know what Linrad had in mind. When I got to the Linrad main waterfall display, I could not control anything. It was frozen. I tried the lowest sampling rate and the smallest bandwidth. There is no longer a complaint about memory but I still can not make any changes to the main waterfall page and there is still no indication of noise or signal.

Has anyone made SDRPlay work on Linrad? If so how? Is there some direction for doing that somewhere that I missed?

I don't know how to make Zadig put the other driver back.

My objective here is to explore really wideband noise blankers on 2 meter EME.

My RTL Dongle has limitations that are hard to overcome and the SDRPlay should be a significant step up.
