JoshS9713 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 When I install the SDR radio it says i have to replace the driver....does that affect my computer in any way? meaning can i still use the USB port as a USB port or is it that i can only use my SDR on that USB port.... what does it mean? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotPike Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi, which SDR and what operating system are you trying to use? Basicly your computer is saying, "Hey I don't know how to control this device..." You'll you need to download/install the software to control the device (drivers) and 99.9% of the time you should be able to use that USB port for other media.
