R820T upper frequency ?
by friedtj 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

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

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

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

Calling rtlsdr_* while receiving in async mode
by Oliver Jowett 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

What's the "right way" to call rtlsdr_* functions while receiving samples via rtlsdr_read_async()? e.g. to change frequency or gain mid-run. You can't call them directly from the async callback as you're within a libusb callback at that point and libusb will self-deadlock if you do anything that needs a synchronous transfer. Plus even without the self-deadlock you really don't want a recursive callback happening if another bulk transfer turns up.. You can't call them from a separate thread because librtlsdr isn't threadsafe. The only way I've found that's reliable is to call rtlsdr_cancel_async() from within the async callback, wait for rtlsdr_read_async() to return, do your work, then call rtlsdr_read_async() again. This is ugly and can drop samples. rtlsdr_read_async() is also a bit buggy in that sometimes it will take up to a second after cancellation has completed before it returns (it calls into libusb to handle more events even if all xfers have completed cancellation, and then you've got to wait for that to time out..) What's the right way to do this? Oliver

librtlsdr maintenance and releases

Is Osmocom still maintaining librtlsdr? Last change to the code was over a year ago now. Any plans for future releases of the library? Oliver
