Question for SdrDx Users

<< < (2/3) > >>

K5KNT:
Connecting the SDR directly to the computer's ethernet didn't work - the SDR was not recognized by the software.  I'm back to using it connected directly to my router.

Thanks for the help.

You probably need a crossover ethernet cable, if your computer's ethernet port doesn't have auto-detection and automatically switch.

K5KNT:
Would a new computer (2016 build) not have autodetection?  I'll try to get a crossover cable tomorrow and give that a try.

refmo:
My Afedri behaves in exactly the same way.  Several missed packets on start-up.  If I click stop and then start, the missed packet count drops to zero.
Either way, I haven't noticed any sdr performance issues.

Even when starting up two instances of SDRdx with two Afedri's, I get the same behavior with the missed packets, so I tend to ignore the MP count.

It should.

If you were plugging it into your router, then I would check if the network on that side of the router is different than your computer's ethernet port (quite likely since it is a router). If so, you will need to either change the address of the ethernet port, or the SDR, so they match.

Does the MP value continue to grow when the SDR is running? If not, it may not be an issue.
