rtl_fm: degraded demodulation caused by self-introduced DC !?

Hi Nikolay,

i don't see any option to do IQ calibration in rtl_fm !?

As i wrote to Murat, the DC is NOT the LO !
The spectrum already looks clean. I don't have a problem with the symmetry.
The "dc" option does work too late: after demodulation.

kind regards,
Hayati
