Need help connecting a Nooelec R820T SDR it show as realtek RTL2828UIDIR in the I/O window. When selected the gqrx main window shows gqrx 0.0 with no apparent connection to the dongle? Any help would be appreciated.

Worked straight away no fuss. Worked well with E4000 chipset but a lot better with the R820t chipset. Looking forward to the next version. Thanks for the good work. 73sTed

Very nice work. Thanks much for an excellent package.
(BTW I am using it on OSX 10.6.8)

I don’t think it has ever worked on OSX.

AFSK1200 Decoder does not seem to work within GQRX when packets are transmitted.. Any ideas?

Has anyone been able to use the software with a Afedri SDR radio?

Many thanks for the port to OSX, I was glad to find it! For the most part, it seems to be working well with the Newsky USB module I recently purchased.

Like a few of the other posts, the app does seem to “crash” on exit, I’ve posted some output below. There are a few other nits but nothing to keep me from using and enjoying the app. Thanks again….

Nevermind, got it working by starting it from the command line, which was a suggestion that someone else mentioned above. Working now with the RTL Dongle. Really need a better antenna, but at least I know it is working with the Mac.
