Re: Trying to get SDRplay RSP2 to work on Linux

First of all I am glad to hear that you got CubicSDR to work on Linux, thanks to the help of SDRplay support. I also have a few notes that might provide some help, if not to you, perhaps to someone else who comes across this thread because they have a similar problem. One of the reasons the symbolic...

Re: Trying to get SDRplay RSP2 to work on Linux

Just to make sure, you downloaded this AppImage ( https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/files/1873761/CubicSDR-0.2.3-x86_64.AppImage-Deb8-with-SDRPlay.zip ), right? If this is the case (i.e. the file you downloaded was called 'CubicSDR-0.2.3-x86_64.AppImage-Deb8-with-SDRPlay.zip', and you had to unzi...

Re: RSP1 & RSP2 under GNURadio

Pietro, the 'Documentation' tab in GNU Radio Companion has the following about gain settings and those three parameters: Gain Mode: Chooses between the manual (default) and automatic gain mode where appropriate. To allow manual control of RF/IF/BB gain stages, manual gain mode must be configured. Cu...

Re: Gqrx?

Tony, since you don't say much what you did before running 'cmake', I assume you are trying to build gr-osmosdr with support for SDRplay RSPs, as described here https://osmocom.org/projects/gr-osmosdr/wiki/GrOsmoSDR . If this is the case (please correct me if I am wrong), these are the commands you ...

Re: Running SDRplay API 3.01 example code under Linux (Fedora 29)

Felix, I am kind of surprised the second 'sdrplay_api_sample_app' (the one with the tuner B) even worked for you. I see that you ran both in 'Single Tuner' mode; according to SDRplay specifications for the API version 3.01, the second call to the function 'sdrplay_api_SelectDevice()' should have fai...

Pietro,
it should be under the 'Input controls' frame (see here: http://gqrx.dk/doc/practical-tricks-and-tips).
If you don't see that panel, you might need to enable it by selecting 'Input controls' in the 'View' menu.

Re: Command line interface for RSP1a

According to the documentation here https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDRPlay/wiki#probing-soapy-sdr-play , the command you should be using to make sure SoapySDR can see your RSP device is: SoapySDRUtil --probe="driver=sdrplay" I just tried it on my computer and the result should look something lik...

Re: Command line interface for RSP1a

You may want to make sure you have installed the SDRplay API driver for Raspberry Pi ( https://www.sdrplay.com/downloads/ ) and the SoapySDRPlay module ( https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDRPlay ) on your Raspberry Pi 3. Also does the command: lsusb -d 1df7: return anything back? If not, it might ...

Re: gr-sdrplay for SDRplay API 3.01

Wolf, no, I haven't run any latency test with my RSP and different software. Unfortunately I don't have an external antenna here because of HOA (home owner association) limitations, and therefore I can only receive a few strong BC stations and not much else due to the high levels of RFI inside the h...

Re: Sorry .... SDRPlay & GNURADIO again ......

Pietro, one approach that I found especially useful in the past when dealing with a multi-step installation like GNU Radio and SDRplay on Linux is to have a way after each step to validate that step is 100% correct and not to move forward with the next step until I am fairly confident that the curre...
