Hi, this series of patches add BW setting support for R820T and interface to set BW explicitly. This work is partialy based on some patches flying around namely Alexander Kurpiers. Testing have been done for some dongles at it looks good except for rally narrow BW setting. No testing of BW setting have been performed for other RF frontends i have only R820T now. JP

HackRF powered antenna support (pleeeeease :)

by Brad Hein

I would like to humbly request support for hackrf antenna power in gr-osmosdr. At runtime preferably, or at least an init string flag to control it (hackrf=0,antenna_power=1 for example). The function call seems to be hackrf_set_antenna_enable() but it's not exposed in gr-osmosdr as far as I can tell. I have some dev experience (but not in C) but I'm falling short trying to understand the code and add the feature myself. If someone wants to provide some "ELI5" guidance I'll be happy to give it another go. Having this feature would open up the powered antenna feature to users of gr-osmosdr such as gnuradio, gqrx, and the list goes on (big win!) Reference: https://www.mail-archive.com/hackrf-dev@greatscottgadgets.com/msg00423.html Thanks! Brad

compiling rtl-sdr on windows using cygwin

by Simon Eigeldinger

Hi all, anyone could tell me how to compile rtl-sdr on windows using cygwin? i have all libs but i seem not to get any dlls and programs back. used the normal cmake and the method using a configure script. greetings, simon --- Diese E-Mail wurde von Avast Antivirus-Software auf Viren geprüft. http://www.avast.com

R820T upper frequency ?

by friedtj

I am struggling with using some of the R820T-based dongles I bought (http://www.dx.com/p/170541). I am wondering where the specs from http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr comes from: although I am told that the operating frequency range is 24 - 1766 MHz, I am struggling to lock at 1574.2 MHz. From the datasheet (http://superkuh.com/gnuradio/R820T_datasheet-Non_R-20111130_unlocked.pdf) we are already well above the "official" operating frequency of this receiver frontend, but I nevertheless attempted to reproduce with this dongle the GPS decoding scheme I successfully implemented with E4k based dongles (for teaching purposes, I'd need a reliable supply of dongles but I only have a couple of E4k based dongles left, one of them probably damaged since the frontend is overheating). I did try to replace L9 (RF input), L2 + L6 (RF filters) and most significantly the pump charge RC circuit R8/C16 from the datasheet with high quality RF-grade components, but only managed to extend by ~60 MHz the locking range of the PLL, from 1.500 to 1.560 GHz. I am unable to to gain the last 20 MHz of reliable locking to receive GPS ! The way I measure is trivial: a frequency synthesizer generates a single tone (-35 dBm) and I look at the gnuradio FFT output. After a couple of seconds, the PLL unlocks and the visible single tone vanishes from the FFT. At 1.5 GHz the measurement is unreliable, lasts for about 1-10 seconds at 1.55 GHz, and a second at most at 1.56 GHz. The dongles never lock at 1.57 GHz, let alone 1.5742 GHz. I attempted the experiment with 3 dongles (of the 12 I have) so something is definitely wrong with either the layout of the PCB, or the information on the web page. Thanks for any info or which component to upgrade to extend the operating range (by only another 30 MHz !), JM -- JM Friedt, FEMTO-ST Time & Frequency/SENSeOR, 32 av. observatoire, 25044 Besancon, France

by Longxiang Wang

Hi, I am a rookie playing with SDR, and I have installed the driver with zadig properly I think, then I try to use rtl_test.exe, the error is like *Found 2 devices:* *0: ezcap usb2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle* *1:ezcap usb2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle* *failed to open rtlsdr device #0* Can anyone help? I would really appreciate that Thanks, Benjamin

Integration of Murata DNT 900

by Al Woodcock

Has any one used the Murata DNT 900 with a raspberry pi To receive data from the iron ert? It seems to have a little more range than the others I've been looking into. Just curious Al
