I'm using HDSDR with an ezcap dongle (marked inside as EzTV666). It worked right out of the box, using a previous installation of HDSDR and ExtIO_USRP.dll by Balint. I only had to put "RTL" in the hint and it worked.
But after a few frequency changes, the frequency does not change any more. It seems to change on the HDSDR main screen, but in the ExtIO window it stays fixed. If I stop the receiver, take out the dongle, put it back it and click "create" again it works again, but after a few more frequency changes it locks up again.
Is there a fix for this? I downloaded the most recent RTL2832++ dll and put it in the same directory, but I don't think it is actually being used (because it was not there before). Is there an updates ExtIO_USRP that fixes this problem?
Other than this the dongle and software works nicely. I was able to listen to a couple of local NBFM stations on both VHF and UHF. With a (borrowed) FCD I was able to hear some VHF satellite signals pretty well when I used an external LNA, so once I get over the MCX-connector issue I'll try the same with the ezcap to see if the dynamic range is good enough for this type of work. (My dongle came with an MCX connector that looks pretty high quality but I don't have cables that can connect an antenna to it; I hope to resolve this very soon).
Thanks again for the software!
