#19534 Has anyone on here got a RTL SDR dongle working with SDRsharp on a 64bit version of Windows 10? I’ve downloaded the 64bit version of SDRsharp from Airspy.com, installed the driver (rtl 2832u) using Zatag and it appears OK in device manager. Unfortunately the 64 bit version of SDRsharp crashes when you try to start it and the 32 bit version starts but doesn’t see the dongle. Found a reference to a fix for the 32 bit version (updated version) but not 64 bit. Any suggestions from someone that has actually got this to work? I don't have access to a 32bit PC or Windows 7 or 8. |
*** UPDATE ***
With the latest releases of SDR# and everyone getting their HackRF One’s from kickstarter, it appears this article is out of date. I haven’t tested it but some chatter on the HackRF mailing list say that you should still grab the SDR# Nightly build, but there is no need to download the hackrf dll’s or editing the config file. It should just work after that. So it’s a little simpler now.
/*** UPDATE ***
I already got my HackRF working in linux with GNU Radio, but I dual boot my laptop into windows too and sometimes its nice to have access to other programs anyway. Besides, I can’t seem to get it working inside a linux VM while in windows (Keep getting libusb IO errors, puuuh!). So on with it.
USB Driver
First thing we need is a driver. Grab the latest Zadig, I’m using 2.0.1.160. Un-7zip the file, run the installer and select your HackRF device to install the usb driver.
Application
Sdr Sharp For Windows 10
Grab the latest _DEV_ version of SDR# here. As of writing this I’m using 1135.
Unzip SDR# to your drive under your favorite naming convention (i.e. c:sdrsharp)
Plugin
Next grab a copy of the HackRF plugin from Zefie’s site. Here is a link to v1.3 which is what I used.
Extract the HackRF plugin to your sdrsharp directory (i.e. c:sdrsharp)
Open up SDRSharp.exe.Config and find the line “<frontendPlugins>”, and add
preferably directly after “<frontendPlugins>”
Save and close SDRSharp.exe.Config.
Last few bits
Grab a copy of hackrf-tools for windows here generously compiled by Zefie again. Extract this somewhere, you might need this. How about c:sdrsharphackrf-tools. Copy libhackrf.dll and pthreadVC2.dll from hackrf-tools 32 bit dir to the sdrsharp directory.

Finally you may need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable package. I didn’t because I already had it, but in case you don’t have it you can grab it here.
That should be all you need to get up and running. I did notice some issues like my feed would stop every once in awhile, I just did a stop then start in SDR# and it got going again. This is probably due to the fact everything is beta

Happy SDRing.
