Is anyone using SDRSharp with an RTL-SDR on a Windows 10 machine? I've uploaded and deleted and reuploaded more than once and I can't get it work. The screen comes on looking good, but when I hit the "Play" button it locks up and nothing happens. I have had older versions working on older Windows, so I sort of know what I'm doing, but I don't know enough I guess. My plan was to use VBCable between SDRSharp and MixW to decode CW beacons from satellites. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

I use it and it works fine. I also use SDRConsole which also works. Howev r, you have to make sure that you run ZADIG.exe to load the correct USB driver. One note, if you have a major build upgrade to Windows, you'll have to do this again so that you'll get the correct USB driver again. Google the ZADIG and you sho0uld get the info you need about running and using it.

I use it however found the older version works better especially if using with Orbitron. I can try to find what version I am running when I look at my laptop tonight. The later versions didn’t support RTLSDR as well. I recall having to install or run some additional software.
