Title: ANRB Drivers
Post by: Jacobite9428 on September 29, 2016, 01:20:53 PM
Hi all, since upgrading to windows 10 OS I am unable to use my ANRB as there is not any drivers to support this software. I have contacted AirNav Systems many times re this issue, but they don't seem to be bothered about updating the drivers any time soon. Can anyone suggest something else I could use as I miss my box. I have been an aviation enthusiast since 1970.

This post from the AirNav forum may help:

I contacted AirNav and followed their reply.
Disabled Driver Checking.
Downloaded Win8 drivers.
Now it works ok.
I am running Win 10.1 with all the updates.

I suspect AirNav has no intention of investing in getting the drivers updated.

If you are using win 8 drivers in windows 10.1 and they work then you are a very lucky, as they do not work for me. I am getting fed up with contacting AirNav regarding this issue. I do not think they care about the customr at all.

I think you're right but if you read that message thread on the AirNav forum, there are other suggestions that may work.

The alternative to the RadarBox is a low cost RPi/DVB-T SDR setup which you can use with the AirNav software.
