Hi Kelley,

Long time no nothin'! Anyway, I saw a problem once where the FCD was not quite fitting tightly enough into the USB socket. I'd suggest trying a different socket and/or (not a bad idea anyway) getting a short USB "extension cord", i.e. USB-A to USB-A F to M.

Hi all,

I'm having problems with the FUNCube dashboard and the FUNCube dongle +. When I start the dashboard and select the capture option, I see the FUNCube Dongle option and it is not grayed out. When I select it, I get an error box saying that the program is unable to capture using the FUNCube Dongle. It lists a webpage to go to for help, but the webpage cannot be found.

I just had this FUNCube Dongle working on a Windows 10 machine. I moved it to a Windows 7 machine and loaded a new copy of the dashboard software. The FUNCube Dongle shows up in the list of sound devices. From what I can see, the drivers loaded correctly.

I looked at the last year or so of AMSAT-BB and didn't see any postings relevant to my problem. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Kelley - W0RK
