- Guido´s genius has struck again:
Demonstration of Guido´s new driver for windows, making it possible to stream audio via CAT and make it useable for all common digimode software. Making audio cables obsolete.

Two questions.
Will it ever work in a way that it's plug in play and doesn't require that app running in background? Secondly, Who do I send the solar panels to?
Hi Julian, with (tr)uSDX hardware, it will never be plug and play without that app in the background. (tr)uSDX has no soundcard onboard. This is why we need to stream audio over CAT, and the app in the background seperates the CAT commands from the audio stream and makes it accessible for digimode apps. Oli SQ3SWF was laying the first brick and Guido built upon it. Your call ;) 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
Guido also recommend, giving the price to Oli.
@@OH8STN I´m sorry, I don´t have Olis contact Information. @opilarczyk Please contact Julian.
@@OH8STN hello 😀
The purchase of this radio just keeps getting better. Thank you for adding this functionality
If there was a “Radio Design of the Decade” award, the (tr)usdx would be head and shoulders above the competition. Thank you for your continued dedication to this product es 73’s de W1AEK.
After sitting on the fence for months (!) this video finally made me order one (with battery case) from Sunny. My thanks to you & Guido--and the community--for all your work. 73 de WZ9U
Absolut Großartig! Vielen Dank an alle Beteiligten! 73, DC8CB
Woahhhh INCREDIBLE!
Oli ... nice work on extending the usefulness of this great little rig. Guido ... as always, you make this rig sing Sir! Thank you all.

I can’t believe this is possible. That and the scope you threw on there… man the software is so good. So so good.
I was curious and just tested it with my (tr)uSDX and it works right away.
It's amazing what good programmers and developers can do. I am awestruck.
It's an experimental firmware and I hear the fan motor howling up and down in the device audio, along with other USB noises. Already very interesting. I use several classic USB cables with which I also program the device and there are no differences. maybe an ACER peculiarity.
However, I will now switch back to my original firmware version. Normally I use audio cables and a USB sound card. The audio is cleaner that way for me.
Many thanks to those involved for their innovative work.
73, Matt DH2LAB
You might get rid of the USB Sounds, if you apply the "howling speaker" mod: forum.dl2man.de/viewtopic.php?t=864 PCB Rev 1.2 has this fix already.
Wow, absolutely awesome what this little radio can do. Great work all of you and thank you for continued development. 73 Ellis M5AEI
You guys are amazing - that's all I have to say!
Great update! Finally we can use only usb without audio cables.
Wow this is great news ! Linux user here and really appreciate the Linux support.
This is awesome! Can't wait to try this on my windows tablet!
Very impressive Manuel, well done to all involved.
Amazing!!!! Thanks Manuel and Guido. The learning continues
Wow. Very nice work again Manual, Guido and the community. I am glad that there are clever guys to help me enjoy my hobby even more. Thank you very much.
Just received my radio today! Excited to get it out into the field and give it a go!
Hi, Manuel. It's very interesting, will try sure. Thanks to all of developers! 73
Amazing result 👍👍👍
NICE! Can't wait to try this out!
Thanks to you both! You made what supossed to be impossible…. ;)
Hopefully soon a driver for MacOs!

Outstanding work! Thank you!
That's amazing. Well done!
Remarkable accomplishment. Thank all very very much.
Thank you Guido and Manuel! You are doing a lot for ham radio!! My congratulations!! LU1DLP
Отличная работа!!!
Now, Sound Over CAT (SoC) it's an splendid idea! It should become an open standard!
This is a great stride!
VERY NICE! hope to get one also next month as my main portable Device for POTA & Winlink
This is great!
brilliant! Thanks heaps!
You do what you're good at doing, and what you LIKE to do, period.
BRILLIANT!
You must set the polling in WSJT-X to 99s, or you will get loads of drop out in TX
Awesome
Hope to try soon
Impressive!!
This is awesome, I'm able to use FT8CN and the beta firmware for a fully mobile rig with CAT control & audio over USB on my Android, (tr)sdx and a half wave end fed.
Wow! Great work, one and all. Thank you! 73 de WZ9U
I've been using mine a lot for cw....this makes me want to order another with the new board just for an every-day-carry digital system.
Gute Arbeit der Entwickler.
This is great! thank you very much. Please keep develop this. (tr)uSDX, a Digipi, ATU-10, MJF-1620 Hamstick 20m. JS8call position tracking on a motorcycle is my project!
incredible
Your ICOM sounds like R2D2 for just a second there.
Wait.... my only question.... and you thought of this! YOU INCLUDED LINUX!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Hi, Manuel! Beta fw since 2.00t has a bug, changes dial step when vary volume by click dial pressed. Fix it please, 73!
I would contribute to a Kickstarter to get a supported firmware for something like this.
USB cables are always trouble. Sometimes noise from the computer is the problem. Using a torriod on the usb solves many problems.
This sounds great - I might actually try FT8 on my (tr)uSDX, which has been very good for CW and SSB. You show where to download the firmware, but how do I install it into my (tr)uSDX (using Linux...)?
On my machine, COM7 and COM8 are already allocated to Serial over Bluetooth links (this was done when I set up a MobilinkD TNC4, I believe). I'm worried that, if I reassign these Serial over Bluetooth links to different COM ports, it is going to break something. Is it really necessary to have COM8 reserved for the (tr)uSDX?
Hello brother a question how can I acquire a radio like yours? Best regards from Venezuela.
Hello Manuel, congrats for the succes of this project, I've got two questions that i haven't been able to find an answer for (1) Is it possible to replace the micro usb connector for an usb c and still have this functionality? (2) Are there plans for a future PCB revision featuring USB C? Thanks in advance
At this moment I´m not aware how it would be possible to replace the USB Connector with USB-C (without PCB re-design) and I have no plans at the moment to make any changes. I agree: USB-C would be nice, but it works as it is right now. Don´t fix what ain´t broke.....
I'm looking forward to trying this out! I can get rid of some of the excess cables I carry in my box. I do have a question through.
Does this require the new 1.2 PCB to work? I don't want to risk bricking my radio; at least no more than usual 🙂
I currently have the prior BETA loaded with no issues. It is one of the original boards though.
No, this firmware works with all (tr)uSDX Hardware versions. 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
Hi, I updated my (tr)uSDX with the latest beta version...everything ok but it doesn't work anymore in tx either cw or ssb.
Suggestions ?
Thank you

I have an issue where running the driver software causes the radio to get stuck in a rebooting loop. This loop stops if the driver is closed, so it doesn't appear to be an RFI issue. Do you have any advice Manuel? I would appreciate the help.
As mentioned in the video, we do not support the driver, as there are way too many variables involved. You can try asking that question in my forum: forum.dl2man.de/index.php
Has this been implemented into a full latest release now?
My friends trusdx not showing true frequency. True frequency is 7.130.00 but displayed 7.130.50. How to fix?
czcams.com/video/LpQtqIrVFOk/video.html
Hi Manuel. Do you think there's a lot cross talk on the cable ? Is that why a "good" USB cable is needed. I'm running into some issues getting any CAT control to work in Linux. I'll be on the forums, don't worry :)
I got it working ! A few bugs to work out but I think it'll do.
I have unresolvable issues with cat control after updating the firmware. Whether or ver usb, or using the digi rig. I wish I would’ve never updated.
If you don't like it, you can always go back and install last stable 2.00i
So, just bought my trusdx and figured out how to change the firmware to the beta version. It had already been shipped with a version that had the spectrum function and when I installed the version that instead has the practice function and then tried to go back to the beta version my cw function would go crazy even with auto decode set to off, then if I didnt leave to usb/lsb/fm/am the whole unit would lock and freeze. Eventually it just started saying put error even after unplugging the unit. Going back to the regular firmware with the practice function it now finally works again. Not sure where bugs and glitches are supposed to be reported but this is my attempt anyways.
Please have a look at the changelog on the beta page. Practice mode was removed as menu option and can be set by setting TX Drive to 0. 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
Hello Manuel .I have recently finished my trusdx and it works well but was curious about efficiency and ft8. Would I risk damaging my fets at .50 watts and below 80 percent efficiency? Thanks for the great rig 73
A clear no. With only 0,5W (only USB Power Supply) it´s virtually impossible to destroy the PA FET on a half way decently working device. So: 0,5W are safe and this is, why I also recommend to do all Filter Tuning only at USB Power Supply. Only when your filters are tuned, switch to higher voltages.
@@dl2man thanks for the response
@@dl2mansorry for asking again but would it risk damage at 10.5v input and about 78 percent efficiency with perfect swr on ft8? Im sure on ssb not an issue.
F6DSD merci

I have several questions about this radio - the tr(u)SDX
1.) Will it work with _GNU Radio_ software?
2.) I see the _”approved”_ models of this radio. Does that mean that other models are *NOT* supported (for firmware updates, etc.)?
3.) I see a number of models (clones?) that come in a metal case. Are any of them approved/supported?
4.) IIRC, the radio only supports the lower bands, with perhaps more coming. When will those be available? I see clones that offer _”8 bands”._ How do they do it?
*73 de AF6AS*
Hi, you should start your journey on dl2man.de
The answer to your questions is:
1) No idea, never did it, never tried it.
2)(tr)uSDX is supported by us. uSDX, uSDR, uSDX+ and whatever they are being called are chinese clones, that we don´t support, as most of them have undocumented hardware changes.
3) see 2) those arew chinese clones
4) (tr)uSDX supports only 5 bands (for the form factor) but there´s 3 options: low bands, classic bands without WARC and high bands. See my page for details.
For further questions in tha t direction, I suggest my forum.
73 Manuel; DL2MAN
hi is there a way to get this on a Linux computer ? ( not running with Wine) ?
Yes: github.com/threeme3/trusdx-audio/releases
Anyone used this with fldigi?
Will this work with the usdx? 73 KB2SDR
No.
Thanks Manuel, but is necessary say, VB cable ( Virtual audio cable) firstly must be installed on PC. VB cable is not for free. But nothing expensive.
I am trying test any apk for OS Android and my smartphone, like FT8CN,. Necessary HW USB sound card, OTG cable, smartphone.
Thanks for your effort and great job.
73! Ladislav OK1UNL
No need to install. Part of the driver. 32 bit version is free and included.
@@dl2man What a surprise! Great job ! After flashing FW me suppose is necessary set up - correct frequency osillator. That is true??

Were you able to run this on Android?
Share how you did it. Have you installed any additional drivers?
Hello, the antivirus is blocking the download of the driver, it displays a message that "ulthar.a!ml" is inside. Is the file really dangerous?
I had the same message, when installing it, but claimed signature changes all the time. Guido told me, that it was false positive, as he´s using some (non dangerous) libraries, that viruses also use.
Thank you very much for your answer!
Edge and Chrome browsers blocked this driver set up. However, Firefox gave warnings about the driver but did allow me to download and install.
Hello! Please tell me, I have only LSB, USB and CW modulation in my menu. There are no FM and AM. Is there some secret to setting up the menu or do I need to flash it? With respect.
I believe FM & AM were removed in the new beta firmware(s) to make room for new functions. If you want them back you will need to use earlier firmware and lose new functions.
Hi I Think your Beta download site is down.
Yes it was, but it´s fixed again.
True HAMS don't use Windows ! #LINUX makes the world go round.
Finally we have a TRUE HAM here, to tell us how it´s being done. Thank you in the name of the community for your helpful comment and please start leading us towards a better future. We´re all lost and need to know from you how we´re supposed to do stuff.... As you can witness, we´re cluesless without your guidance......
Thanks!
wonderful stuff !!!! congratulations !
