FM/DAB digital radio - THAT WORKS!!

The iBus and this DAB radio both use the FTDI drivers, so maybe there is a conflict.

There might be setting in the driver properties that can be changed

thanks for the reply.
What should I change the properties of the drivers?
What settings should I do?

Just connect the radio and as mentioned you install the drivers provided once I notice that restarting the ibus adapter no longer works and in device manager I find the question mark is on the radio device that ibus adapter.
I therefore fail to have both devices simultaneously lit ..... there is a solution ..... or am I mistaken something?

Did you plug-out the ibus adapter and put it into another USB port? This will change the COM Port number assigned to it.

As soon as I have time I try to remove the ibus adapter and attach it to another USB port so let's see what happens
thanks

kev, this won't work. that amplifier will have a band pass filter on it, which will attenuate the dab frequencies which are 175Mhz+. I think you might need a combined dab/fm/am antenna.

i'm amazed you are actually picking any dab up!

No idea, just guessing in the dark at the moment. Will need to have a look on a PC I have a radio connected to. Not today though

What AW meant was, that if you have already changed the USB port the resler was connected to you will have to change the port number in the software you are using with the iBus.

just download the NEWEST FTDI drivers, and pick a device and install using these new drivers

it will overwrite any common files... and everything should work fine
