Alexander Kurpiers a.kurpiers at gmail.comI agree that the official code lacks proper manual gain control - but I would still prefer some nice presets. Being able to adjust the internal gain controls of the tuner chips to me is a bonus (as you really need to know what you are doing). As many others, I've started my fork (current version https://github.com/dl8aau/librtlsdr/tree/devel1), which among other things includes manual gain settings optimized for E4000 and R820T (optimization done by Leif Asbrink for Linrad). Something like this is badly needed for applications that cannot use the automatic gain control. There are many other forks with interesting features and there seems lots of duplicate work... I would love to see these merged back into the official release, but I actually do not believe this is going to happen any time soon.
