What software is work ? It is SDR device and for working need some SDR program. Originally, device was supported nativelly in QUISK, QUISK VNA and Zeus Radio, but currently since firmware v1.3 was added OpenHpsdr protocol support and other programm became available. PowerSDR MRX, CuSDR, KissKonsole and much programm via ExtIO.dll for Hermes – HDSDR, SDR-Sharper, Studio1 and other.
