[flugle2009]

Hi have installed RTL1090 and zadig driver all seemed to be going well but on launching RTL1090 i get the following (from the startup log)

RTL1090 V 3.0.4.161
Started at: 15/04/2015 19:02:13 (UTC)
==========================================
RTL1090 V 3.0.4.161 (c) jetvision.de 2013
==========================================
Command line:

"basestation.sqb" loaded

No RTL1090 3rd party plug-ins found.

Started...
1 RTLSDR device(s) found.
Index:0; Cannot read device info:-5

Wondering if anyone could give me some pointers or direct me towards a solution.

Did you inadvertently load the drivers that were on the DVB-T CD?

Hi Anmer, not that I'm aware of I have since deleted the dongle in device manager and it's drivers and started again loading the zadig drivers as tr instructions but still hetting this error on startup?
Many thanks for your help

[Anmer]

If the DVB-T default drivers are loaded, I don't know how to remove them.  I've tried and failed.

Try connecting to a different USB port?

thanks for your reply will have an evening on it on Friday and see how I get on, I did remove the device in device manager and ticked the checkbox to remove associated software, however as you suggest which I didn't twig it may not have removed the driver.? Will try another USB port and another pc
Thanks again

I have just done a fresh install on anther PCs using the I u from rtl1090.web99.de and am getting the same error on start up as before , am I missing something.? Any advice/ guidance would be greatly appreciated thanks

[flugle2009]

Ignore above post thanks She Flys!

Which RTL1090 file download did you get from the Jetvision site?  Was it RTL1090 "Scope"?

Perhaps start with Version 2 and follow the install instructions in the 1_DO READ THIS FIRST.all.versions.txt file?

[flugle2009]

Thanks for your advice up and running now problem was the driver on one site it said to load the WCID Driver which I had been doing instead of just load driver! Doh! So problem lay between the chair and the keyboard as is often the case thanks again for your prompt responses

Hey
RTL1090 is outdatet. In the next weeks (when the SMA -> N Adapter arrives here) i will compaire the software to each other.

I see you use an SDR Stick?

RTL1090 is not outdated and I do not know of any other software for RTL dongles that comes with a Radar Scope in the same application.

Maybe Dump 1090 to.

The latest version of RTL1090 was released in March 2015 (V 3.0.4.161)

It's worthwhile updating to this latest version if you're running the previous release which dates back to late 2013.

I find it works flawlessly with Virtual Radar Server and gives the HUGE benefit of being able to chain multiple dongles together into the one feed.

If you haven't used it yet, try it. Download the program from the Jetvision website using the installer utility and then update to the latest version manually. I think that it's the easiest of all the software to install and use.
