tom at tswartz.net tom at tswartz.netHey Mark: I'd happily be corrected, if it proves otherwise but I just gave it a shot locally. My setup was: rtl_tcp streaming over ethernet to a LAN host running GQRX 2.11.5 Wide FM worked as expected, tuned up to a local broadcast FM station no issues. NFM also worked, and I received a local ham repeater on 2m band. I did notice that the gain values were different in GQRX's GUI when switching between rtl_tcp and rtl_sdr drivers. Perhaps that subtle difference in gain values were what you had seen? I was not using Hardware AGC in either instance, but I set the values via the slider. rtl_tcp reported: `set gain 372` (and other values) when I adjusted the GQRX gain sliders. Perhaps someone else with better knowledge of the agc/gain settings can speak to why you may have been seeing a difference with the AGC enabled. -- Tom Swartz On Mon, Jan 07, 2019 at 06:55:13PM -0500, Mark Russell wrote: > At first I thought rtl_tcp was the way to go, but after looking at the > code, it doesnt seem to support wide band FM, which led me to rtl_fm > instead. > > Also, when using rtl_tcp as a server, I found my signal strengths were > weaker when connecting to the rtl_tcp server with GQRX.
