Hi, Hi Brian, I didn't think of these cases - they make sense. I have added an option to set the bandwidth in the I/O configuration dialog. It is Great! available in the git repository. I could test it with hackrf anbd I hope somebody else can test it with the bladerf. Currently it does

Hi, Do you know if it makes any difference whether I set the bandwidth or sample rate first? Looking at the code, yes it does. You should set sample rate, then bandwidth. But honestly I think it shouldn't make a difference and the code should be fixed. Cheers, Sylvain

Hi, And as an addition, when trying to adjust the gain, I get these messages on the console output: Invalid LNA gain requested: 3.48, setting to LNA_MAX (6dB) Probably gqrx or gr-osmosdr treats the gain as a continuous value even though on the LMS it's not, there is only a few discrete

Hi, I played a bit more, and I found that checking the iq balance option makes things worse, not better. Maybe the real huge center DC peak is too much? The blind IQ estimation doesn't always works, there is no magic solution. One of the case where it fails is if you're tuned to the center

The hackrf module for example has a special value of 0.0 for the set_bandwidth call that basically mean auto-set. When you change the sample_rate it goes to automatic unless you manually set a specific bandwidth. Cheers, Sylvain ___
