Very informative video and helped me with the Evaluation View and SDR bandwith settings settings. I have installed Dream subversion 1021 on my 8-year old Acer laptop running Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS Linux together with pulseaudio Virtual Sink, following on-line guide by "One Transistor". I have just received Radio Kuwait on 15110 @ 1300GMT with near perfect decoding ( 20dB s/n ratio ). I use Dream together with the GQRX Linux SDR App and an Airspy Mini dongle. The antenna is a RA0SMS Miniwhip (e-bay kit) mounted 5 metres above my garden shed at my location 12 miles north of Bournemouth in Southern England.
I managed to see the display of the carriers once, but heard no audio. After that, I never even saw the carriers. Many weeks later, I gave up and consigned the whole lot to the junk box. Far too much faffing around to try to hear a handful of radio stations. Returned to AM and SSB and never looked back. Maybe this video will help... Thanks. 🙂👍
Thank you for the video! Question about the DREAM (v2.1.1) input sound card settings. Which channel settings do you use with SDRuno Digital mode? I've tried L+R, and several of the I/Q settings w/o any luck. Thanks!
Milan Karakas DMR is a digital mode mainly used in the commercial sector on VHF and UHF, however over the past few years it has been adopted in the Han radio community and it’s a pretty good mode :)
Ive also got the following error "failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized". This seems to be a common issue for many users and there appears to be no solution online.
Try to run as administrator i just tried that after messing with it all day when i tried running it as administrator it ran also copy all the dll files that came with the app to a folder called sysWOW64 if u have a 64 bit computer if u have a 32 bit u place the dll files in the system32 folder dont put them in a specific folder just put them in one of the folders i mentioned those 2 folder are in the windows folder in the c drive
Where is QT? Sourceforge just gives other software with "Q" or "T" in the metadata. The qt.io site is useless, it wanted to download gigs of unnecessary files with the silly installer. I gave up. Didn't the developer of Dream bother to list the actual QT files needed? After a long time searching and emailing DRM organisation, I completely gave up. Matt, what QT did you install, what files? I can use any platform OS.

Does DRM capable of simultaneously broadcasting with analog (like the HD-Radio in the U.S.A.) so that people with analog-only receivers can still listen to the program?

The reason why I don't get into this, when I should, is that it's very hard to set up, and you have to have training from someone who knows what they are doing. I don't have that connection yet, not even on Facebook groups. Also get this, the Spark DRM transmitter software is a trial only, and through special request and the duration of the software is up to 30 minutes, and it's not open sourced like the Dream receiver software, and you have to be super rich, own a company to be able to afford the full version of the DRM Spark Transmitter software. So there are 2 reasons why DRM is getting difficult, and if it's open sourced, why can't we get it on our ATS Arduino based software defined receivers? I just don't get this. Spark transmission DRM software is closed-sourced trial software, DRM receiver software is semi-closed sourced due to requiring set up and plugin, and Version 2.2 does not work, but Version 2.1 does works fine, but the .dll files for audio decoding are required. Most short wave, LW, MW stations are not using it that much except mostly in India on SW and MW.
Hi I have known luck getting dream to work with my rsp duo can you do a video showing how to the aac decorder up any other tips to find a station? thanks
Hey Beau, the AAC decoder is just a drop in file, you should be able to find it on the internet, I think I linked it in the video. DRM stations broadcast quite a wide and solid bandwidth, should be easy to spot, but I don’t think they are 24/7 and it also depends on band conditions.
It's been two years, but I assure you nothing "rude" comes out of Radio France Internation, neither Radio Romania International. Thanks for the video.
i got this to work with Dream v2.1.1 + faad2_drm.dll.

Excellent demo
thank you, this tutorial really helped me alot !
I am always confused between DRM and DMR digital radio. Any idea what is DMR? Thanks.

DRM is for broadcasting. DMR is used for radio transceivers.

TNX 4 the nice overview

THANKS THIS TUTORIAL IS VERY GOOD
Is there a way in which we can have an DSP based analog radio like XHDATA D-808 whose sound output can be used as an input to a software decoder?
Is it possible to connect the audio from a Yaesu amateur radio transceiver to a laptop and use this software to decode?
You can use your soundcard if it can reach 192khz

No, it's a different tech. I it uses modulation similar to DAB radio. There is no analogue signal.
@@avaughan585 aaactually... It is possible to have a double side, one for digital and one for analogic
just discovered the video.I have an rsp1A besides these two pieces of software do it need anythings else..Or any hardware please?
thank you for the tutorial but i am getting an error saying failed to start because no qt platform plugin could be initialised
try the previous version ;) sourceforge.net/projects/drm/files/dream/2.1.1/dream-2.1.1-win32-svn808-df.exe/download
@@BastianFKS thank you so much :) it works.

that didn't work for me - previous version works well though@@ericmoeller3634
I tried everything and I am not able to make this work... it always crashes when I try to change the soundcard input...
running 64bit windows which AAC should i use
Fizzy winx64 version for 64bit 👍

You’re more than welcome to ask questions here and either myself or some of the other subs will help you out.
I am get wpcap.dll error it is missing any idea
Have you installed the codec?
@@TechMindsOfficial I too get the wpcap.dll missing , what do you mean by the codec? I put libFAAD2.dll in the same folder as I expanded the Dream.zip
I’ll look into this and get back to you ASAP :)
@@TechMindsOfficial Thanks
i get error called wpcap is missing
me too but then i get qt error

I'd expect it to be at least better quality, but the bit rates are so low the upgrade is negligible
Promo Video from 2005 here:
th-cam.com/video/CjesTJpdggY/w-d-xo.html
Compared to the narrator's voice, I hear aliasing in the decoded DRM audio stream.
I've tried to find a DRM transmission but there is just hundreds of STANAG transmissions everywhere.
@4:05 Radio Romania in Italian!
why on a ham band ?
For me here in the UK none of these were on Ham Bands. Our 80m stops at 3.8 Mhz
i cant do this with my sdr receiver because my nextdoor neighbor has a plasma tv and it interferes with the band. i hate plasma tvs so bad
Plasma TV's should be illegal
satelite 😂
No longer Dream.exe this in 2013 outdated be WIN7 will cannot start engine
