RX888MkII EXTIO_SDDC.dll revisited

[PE3ES / F4VTQ]

Hi Alan, and others,

I am trying out my new RX888MkII with SparkSDR.

So far only had some luck (discover and start) with the version 919 and 955 (not with 943).

But the waterfall shows it is not reacting well. What should I do ?

Tried 919 943 955

C:\SparkSDR.2.0.943.win64\sparksdr2

C:\SparkSDR.2.0.943.win64\sparksdr2\drivers>SparkExtIOsource.exe

Hi Erwin,  I'll second your request.  I think there are no longer any  of the second hand hardware issues that were supposed to have occurred with the first RX-888 release; their use with the WD software shows them to be well priced and very capable radios when setup and configured correctly.

I really enjoy SparkSDR's WSPR capabilities and have come to rely on it 24/7 with other hardware incl. multi AirSpy HF+ and a TRX-Duo Red Pitaya clone.  If I won the lottery I'd send Alan one of each of those three SDRs so he wasn't trying to support them blind and could tidy up some of the loose ends such as getting the bugs out of of his AirSpy LNA code, I can't imagine how he 's got so far without.

Hi,

nothing has changed with this code for a while (other than not including the .exe in the main zip file). I'm away at the moment but shall have a play when I get back.  Is there a 64bit extio dll available for the radio, if so it might be worth trying that.
