Thanks.
I wonder what the difference between FC0013 and FC0012 is. I cannot find any datasheet on the web.
The code between the 2 is very similar.

However, the FC0012 driver has no "Set_VhfTrack" function (but it covers VHF band 3) and I couldn't find yet where the switch between bands happens.

Otherwise, the EZCAP eztv646 stick is recognised with 0x0bda VID and 0x2838 PID (but has no e4000 tuner).


Regards,

Mathias

The FC0013 driver was taken from the Linux kernel driver that Realtek
released, so can be the FC0012 driver.

See:
http://grok.osmocom.org/source/xref/x-misc-rtl2832u-kernel3/RTL2832-2.2.2_kernel-3.0.0/tuner_fc0012.c

I don't have a stick with a FC0012 yet, but might get one in the next
days. I will add support as soon as I get my hands on it.

It also needs some code to control the GPIOs of the RTL2832, since you
have to toggle a pin of the FC0012 to switch between bands.

Regards,
Steve
