I cannot recall if this has been asked before, but as we all know, when radarbox starts up, it detects the one box, then tries to detect a second box.

Have we ever been given an explanation as to what this is for?  Is there some benefit to adding a second radarbox?

Airnav, can you explain the functionality behind this?

I believe it states RB1 found and nothing else, at least that what it does with mine.

I will check mine tonight, but I am sure it tries to detect a second box...when the new software was released some time ago, I know this was mentioned somewhere.  I will grab a screen shot tonight when I get home, only 14:20 here right now.

Yes it did at the time but hasn't since the last release.  Just closed down and restarted to check.

Ahh ok, I never bothered to update radarbox to the very last update when it came out as everything was working fine for me.  I will just leave well enough alone!

Thank you!

It detects my DVT-B as a RB2.  This DVT-B is normally use by SDR# to decode ACARS.

Hi Kenny

what is a DVT-B? I only know DVB-T (which stands for DigitalVideoBroadcast-Terrestrial).

My DVB-T stick is detected as micro radarbox not RB2. As Far as I know RB2 is something else and not released yet.

Hi,

Recheck again..  It detects my DVB-T dongle as "MiniRB"  However, there is no data when it enters main screen.  I have to exit RB program and SDR# to let SDR# get the DVB-T then start the RB program again.
