Are you using the Radiator gui to test or RR?

Check what the Radiator output is mapped to in its config.

Sometimes it takes a channel change and then back for mine to produce audio after a boot - even static.

That's all I can think of that I've experienced - I'm sure others have more ideas.

Im using the Radiator GUI atm. Where i can change the radiator output? I only can see the volume control. I restarted my pc serveral times and changed the channels with no result.

have a look in the C file, it may be looking for a specific hardware name or part number before opening...

AFAIK you should select Volume Control (Internal) option. And have you tried USBRadio.dll?

So what was the conclusion on the impedance problems by using a carantenna on this device?

I want to change the carantenna to a windowantenna - Or should i go for a different/better approach if i'm going to use this device?

If I order it from UK to Denmark it rates £35 incl shipping

Didn't anyone get a load of the $5 ones?

Does it come with some standard connector or are the included antenna hardwired?
