Finally after searching years, i found a second hand SBS-3 for 200 euro, it was sold on a dutch second hand website, the guy that was selling it wanted at first 450 euro, i finally make a bid of 200 and he was oke with that. So now i have to look how every things is working.

First of all, how i can get the scanner/radio give sound true my pc speakers, im on windows 10 64 pro version, and i use a sound blaster sound card in my pc. But when looking inside my sound settings i dont see any input for the sbs-3.

Any tips for me, thanks

Check out the BaseStation Reference Manual page 83. I've uploaded a file copy (https://radarspotting.com/forum/index.php?action=tportal;sa=download;dl=item456).

You will either need separate external speakers (powered directly) connected to the audio out port on the SBS-3 or use VLC media player or something similar

The audio can either be heard via speakers connected to the SBS-3 or using a media player on a PC connected to the SBS-3.

The Reference Manual explains this.
