It should look like this out of the box. Take care if device field is not empty. If it is then go back to previous steps &#8211; something is wrong with your configuration<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img  title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.granat.waw.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-15.png\"  alt=\"image-15 SDRSharp configuration. 10 minutes needed! - RTL-SDR Part #2\"  class=\"wp-image-61\" style=\"width:274px;height:386px\" width=\"274\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.granat.waw.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-15.png 324w, https:\/\/blog.granat.waw.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-15-213x300.png 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without further explanation (for now) just click big play button on the top.
