Quoting Graham Norbury <gnorbury(a)bondcar.com>om>:
I'm not aware of a master gain parameter. LNA,
MIX, IF are the three gain
controls. All take value between 0-15.
Ummm...mmm...hmmmmmm...
SDRTrunk exposes:
4 CONTROLS and 3 options in a drop down.
A guess is these "modes" are some sort of custom setup? As you can set
CUSTOM MODE and you can then adjust IF,MIX,LNA separately... in
SENSITIVITY or LINEARITY MODES it has a "MASTER" slider which I will
take it that if there really are only 3 real gains must be a custom
adjust to all 3 via that slider???? Which it doesn't reflect in the
GUI that its adjusting them.... but thats not really relevant here.
I am trying to match performance from an RTL to the Airspy, and the
plot on the spectrum is at least 20db down from the RTL (RTL Gain
49)..unless the Airspys are significantly less sensitive which SDRT
doesn't seem to show.
I get -20db power level with the RTL and and the airspy is at
-40db...and playing with those gains didn't seem to budge it... hmmm..
I'll give another whack tonight using only the 3 controls and see what
I get...
Thanks...
