It wokrs fine on my non-SDR receiver, thanks. My question involves hooking a battery up it. Would a 12-V battery be too much?

Yes 12v is too much, use only 5v unless you want to replace that surface mount regulator.

To clarify, the nominal voltage requirement is 4-6VDC. 5VDC is recommended.

Bummer you're having these problems. Other than connecting to Internet for radio and firmware updates, I haven't tried anything else over the Internet. Never had any problems with the receiver. Always powers up too. Unfortunate that their support channel is helpful.

I have not seen this problem before but strongly suspect that you don't have the correct driver. Do not use the drivers on any disk included with the device, download the correct driver for SDR use from either the vendor or from and SDR site.

Unless you have a power antenna you need extended when radio is on, don't hook it up at all. That is all it is used for.

I use mine with a regular receiver. I just had to adapt the wires at the receiver.

Yes, That is the radio I'm using. Make sure to stand about 7 to 10 feet away from the receiver when binding.

I don't know how many receivers you can hook up. Just be careful where you put it, mine either went off all the time, even when I couldn't see anything that would set it off, or it didn't go off at all. It also seemed to go through alot of batteries.

Thanks for the response. This looks like a much better value than the tx-sr805. I think that I found my new receiver.

Did you connect the powered transmitter that plugs into the (wired) remote cable on the back of the radio. It appears the wireless transmitter has its own powered receiver which plugs into the existing connector for the wired remote (on the back of the radio) and if I remember correctly it was powered(12V). There was no link or pairing to perform it simply worked.

I just plugged it in and turned on the radio and it works fine! No problem.

Make sure the input is 5v DC (five volts, direct current) on your receiver.... If yes, it should work...

Don: I am not sure, but you can determine that by matching the 5v output with your requirement on the radio itself. What is the voltage on the old power cord ? If it's 5v, you are fine. Anything higher, will blow out the receiver ! Hope this helps...

All receivers get hot to a certain degree. Keep it properly ventilated and you shouldn't have any problems. Also, unless you have less than a 15 amp outlet and you don't have an exceedingly large amount of things plugged into that circuit you'll be fine.

I have never had that problem with my radio...it is one of the best sports radios I have ever purchased. I would check your battery ( you probably already did) and if that is not your problem, return the radio. I have never had that happen.

Yes, I have replaced the batteries in my receiver (collar) with after market ones and everything worked. Careful not to break the rubber seal or it won't be water-resistant anymore.

I can't see anywhere for an adapter, the receiver is pretty small and the call unit smaller. The receiver just uses 2 AA batteries. The call button uses a tiny battery that's labeled a 12 volt--I found it without much of a problem at a local supermarket (Ingles); I don't know if it's the same brand, but the main brand sold at this store is Rayovac.

The remote is useless with this device when used as SDR...it was probably meant for its original application as a TV receiver. There is no software included with the radio, but several software options are available for free online. I have it running on Windows 7 and Linux, while a colleague has it running on his MAC.
