Re: LF: Watson W-SDRX1 SDR RX

Initially, on first  reading this email,  I thought it was a cheek Airspy hijacking the SDRsharp URL.  But on enquiring of the Airspy UK people, found that the author of SDR# is the very same chap that designed the Airspy SDR.  (Which I find to be a very nice unit, see the write up in August 2015 RadCom )

So he's got every right to do so :-)

Dear All.

I have recently purchased a Watson W-SDRX1 100kHz – 2Ghz SDR RX. Has any one on the group had any experience of this SDR module especially downloading and installing the operating software? This is what has happened to me, The instruction booklet says go to,  www.sdrsharp.com  this is actually an Airspy site. With some help from Waters & Stanton Ltd found what software to download and downloaded. Today I unzipped the files ready to install, First problem booklet says run INSTALL file, there was no install there, also run ZADIG file this will not open. As I see it the device is from one manufacturer, the software by another and the booklet by yet another person all of this equals disaster.   

 

Any help, advice in installing this or any alternative software will appreciated.
