#HOW TO USE VIRTUAL AUDIO CABLE WITH RTL SDR INSTALL#You might get a warning that the publisher cannot be verified, but just accept it by clicking on Install this driver software anyway. Click “Replace Driver” (or “Install Driver” if the button says that).(Do not select “USB Receiver (Interface 0)” however). (Note on some PCs you may see something like RTL2832UHIDIR or RTL2832U instead of the bulk in interface. Ensure that WinUSB is selected in the box next to where it says Driver. Select “Bulk-In, Interface (Interface 0)” from the drop down list.Run Zadig and go to Options->List All Devices and make sure this option is checked.Go to and download Zadig, if you haven’t already done so. #HOW TO USE VIRTUAL AUDIO CABLE WITH RTL SDR DRIVERS#If you had already installed any software drivers that came with the dongle, uninstall them. DO NOT install any of the software that came with the dongle, but let Plug and Play try to install it. Plug your RTL-SDR dongle into a USB port.In case you get stuck, the RTL-SDR Quick Start Guide at: Virtual Audio Cable or equivalent (this is NOT freeware): RTL SDR Dongle such as are available on Amazon: Below is my cookbook for setting up a system to use a cheap $20 RTL-SDR dongle for measuring sun and moon noise. So, basically, my opinion is that using anything other than an SDR to measure sun noise (or moon noise) these days is dinosaur-like behavior. There are no startling revelations in it: Here is a brief paper on using SpectraVue for measuring sun noise. VK3UM also wrote a detailed paper on sun noise in 2008. I already had an SDR-IQ, and so that is what I have done ever since. I was going to duplicate Paul’s system more a decade or so ago when I ran into Al Ward W5LUA at Dayton, and he indicated that I should advance to the current century and use an SDR-IQ ( or maybe it was an SDR-14, I don’t remember ) taking the IF signal from the 10 GHz transverter along with SpectraVue running in the Continuum mode to do this. Paul wrote this article before SDR’s had come onto the scene for Amateur Radio use, and so he used a wide-band (several MHz bandwidth) analog system using a 10 GHz transverter, some interdigital filters, and an amplifier feeding an HP 432 power meter. Paul Wade W1GHZ wrote an excellent although now dated article on this subject in the 1990s: The key to getting an accurate measurement is in having sufficient bandwidth of the sampled signal, whether the technique used is an old analog method or a more technologically advanced SDR-based method. Tune to around 1.537.700 GHz and you should see a bunch of activity.This is is followup to our discussion at the MWL just past regarding measuring sun noise / moon noise. Get it in the general direction to start. Okay lets first point the antenna at 97 W and start looking for the signal. Virtual Audio Cable to get the audio from your SDR software into Syctale-C software.Software such as SDRUno if you are using an SDRPlay device or SDR# if you may be using an Airspy device.A Windows laptop with a little bit of OOMPH.You might be able to find one on eBay or of course make your own. #HOW TO USE VIRTUAL AUDIO CABLE WITH RTL SDR PATCH#I had one of the old L Band Patch antennas laying around already.
