Hi there:

My sdrplay RSP1 is working fine with SDR console v3 and SDRuno, but when trying to use it with skyroof, I have an strange waterfall but also the software doesn't starts correctly

Attached you can see an screenshot

Any help is appreciated

Did you set the gain of your SDR to the minimum? Note that Sdrplay driver has the gain in the opposite direction, the rightmost position of the slider is the minimum.

Juan it's better that you send a screenshot of the SDR configuration settings.
My rsp1 clone (msi.sdr) works well with Skyroof.
Rf gain full left
Af gain full right

Ciao Luca:

Many thanks for your interest. Mine is also a chinese clone (msi.sdr).

These are my settings in skyroof:

But the problem is not just the waterfall, the software starts without some parts visible (like the menu). Then clicking on this portion of the screen, the items appears....

Juan Carlos, my settings are differents. When i came back at home i will send my screenshot.
For the other problem, it seems that your computer is busy doing other things... Do you have other programs running, low pc resources or process slowing down your pc?
Maybe you can try removing and reinstalling Skyroof?
Msi-sdr is not too bad as receiver but need correct settings.

Many thanks Luca, I think is workong better now.
About the other question, I dont think its a resources problem. I dont have any problem with any other sdr software and I have tried a lot of them.

I'll try reinstalling SkyRoof from scratch

Grazie mille

Here can see the CPU when running SkyRoof.... 15% but the most important thing is that it's working
