FAQ
Q I can not receive on SDR# with link of your site.
A Please change Direct Sampling to Q input on DLL.
Q There is not enough sesitivity above 10MHz.
A There is two gain control. you need to increase RF gain trimmer on
Soft66Q. also try to check RTL AGC on EXTIO.DLL
Q There is a lot of noise under 100kHz.
A try to reduce RF gain. also you need suitable antenna for VLF.
magnetic loop antenna is good.
Q.USB Dongle is very hot.
A. it is normal. R820T is becomming hot. Soft66Q have new TV dongle. no thermal problem.
Q I can not receive. nothing is comming.
A. Please read installation and explain your setting details. I am not
god. I need your informations.
Q HF is working. But VHF is not working.
A. Please check SMA connector conection.
Q. Soft66 may be working. But it is not enough sensitive.
A. check antenna connection. if you connect only SMA center PIN, it is
bad. Please use SMA connector.
Q My PC does not recongnise Soft66RTL.
A. There is bad USB cable. If your USB cable does not connected GND pin
to outer shield, please change it.
Q installation is succes. but no signals.
A some user can not connect SMA corectly. please check SMA
contact. check center pin reach to jack center.
