[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 977056, member: 325666"] Problem solved .. Cracked open this 10m usb screened extension cable ...and it is indeed a repeater .. ie contains an active hub .. but as said will NOT recognise an rtl dongle .. closer examination with a meter reveals that the screening/braid is NOT connected to ground at either end ...so did this for myself with a short jumper .. et voila ..dongle now recognised ...zadig driver now installs ...and working .. In other words ...what was the point of screening if you dont use it ?? More likely to encourage data loss and unwanted data pickup with it floating .. Cheap imported crap made by idiots who dont understand the importance of screening over long cable runs .. pathetic... rgds VS [/QUOTE]
