Scanner and RDS decoder
Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:11 am
It is a great step forward to have a 'proper' scanner integrated in with SDRUno. I've tried it on airband, just to see how it worked, and on FM - which is my main area of interest.
The video tutorial is a very helpful complement to the manual, but a point to note is the manual doesn't appear to mention that the scanner defaults to Low Frequency IF. The video cover that point.
Apart from any other fact - the scanner doesn't add to the CPU load - unlike another one I use which is a CPU hog.
Now with a full scanner available in SDRUno - FMDXers like my self will go on bended knee to beg for the RDS decoder to be equipped with a logfile which would of course need to have the date, Time, and frequency as well as the data. It needs to be easily exportable as a csv file. It would also be very helpful is the RDS decoder could have the option to automatically reset after frequency change or after a settable time interval.
If at the same time it was possible to tweak the sensitivity of the decoder that would be beneficial.
Then we would finally have a fully integrated FM-DX solution for unattended monitoring.
