RX888 MKII

[Andrew Cowan]

All,

Does SparkSDR support the RX888 MKII as just ordered one.

Great software 

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

there is receive support using extio drivers and more recent versions of Spark on windows, if you search the group someone did have some success I think.  The last couple of releases did not include the driver to do this as it was being falsely identified as a virus.  The drivers can be copied from the drivers folder of slightly older 2.0.9xx versions.

Had a look back not too much on the subject.

Found driver  https://github.com/ik1xpv/ExtIO_sddc/releases/download/v1.1/ExtIO_sddc_v1.1RC1.zip

No luck with SparkSDR but installed the DLL’s into HDSDR and that works and shows ExtIO with RX888mkII.

Just wondered if there is anyone out there that has this working.

Hi Andrew,

sorry this is a bit messy at the moment. There are two sets of drivers required:-

1. the extio drivers you downloaded, the spark help describes where to put them.

2. the spark interface to the extio drivers, these go in the drivers directory of spark, these can be found in earlier 2.0.9xx releases on this group.

No problem these units are very favoured by the Wsprdaemon crew so testing it with some beta software at the moment.

So demanding us users great work from yourself.

Hi Mike,

I believe it already works using extio drivers on windows.  Currently the latest versions of spark don't contain the 
needed drivers directory, this needs to be copied from earlier 2.0.9xx versions, this was because they were causing too many false virus positive warnings.  There is a section in help about extio usage.  I'll make a link to just these files.
