Code: Select all

Error: bad retune at 88500000 Hz (4 of 3 attempts), r=-5, flags=0 (try increasing -S or -R).

Any ideas?

have you tried increasing the retry via -R switch ?

Did you ever come up with a way to sue the RSP1a remotely ? I currently have an RTL-SDR dongle on a Pi3 running rtl_tcp in my attic at home and using iPhone app SDRReceiver I can access my RTL-SDR worldwide. Just bought an RSP1a to improve on my reception but I can't find a way to use the RSP1a wit...

So you're saying that SoapySDR isn't an application I can use to directly play with my SDR and that it's some kind of foundation for other applications like Cubic SDR? Correct. It's called a library (a piece of software that provides some features that can be used by other software). You cannot dir...

Hello Rob
What do you want to achieve?
SoapySDR is not an standalone application; It's a SDR library which is used by other applications or libraries (like CubicSDR, gqrx, gr-osmosdr, etc)

Dear SDRPlay team Here's a request: Could you please mention the breaking changes when you release a new API, so other developers/etc can do something about it? (although in a perfect world, it would be nice not to have any breaking changes) While compiling an open source project, I realized that it...

It's hard to say, but my gut feeling is that you have a problem with Soapy, not the API driver.
Have you tried "soapy=0,driver=sdrplay" in Gqrx?
Are you sure you don't have multiple versions of Soapy installed?
Have you tried the "Refresh" button in CubicSDR's device dialog?

Have you installed the udev permission rules?!
Look at the page 4 of http://sdrplay.com/docs/Mirics_SDR_API_ ... e_r1p1.pdf

EDIT: I use SDRPlay on OS X, not Linux, but found this on the forum (search for udev)

gr-osmosdr has nothing to do with SoapySDR. Make sure that your device is detected by the OS first (for example by lsusb) Then try with CubicSDR or gqrx (although the former relies on Soapy). I've experienced a weird bug in the past: the first run of SoapySDRUtil did not work and I had to run it for...

Thank you so much. - I assume I use the record option in SDRUno to generate the .wav file, although this is really not a "wav" file - I just take this ".wav" file and run it through the rtlsdr-to-gqrx which I will run in a gcc compiler? - What format extension is the output from...

Take a look at these two links and let me know if you need further help: https://gist.github.com/DrPaulBrewer/917f990cc0a51f7febb5 https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR/blob/master/include/SoapySDR/ConverterPrimatives.hpp By the way, SDRPlay produces I and Q samples as "short" data-type (...
