Hi Ivan, Thank you for the fixes, that definetely works now. Now in init_gains function, tx_gain_min is set to -18 db and tx_gain_max is set to 7 db. Using setTxGain i can set the TX gain to given values between -18 and 7 db, altough tx_gains[chan] is still returned as -28 db from get_tx_gain(). I am just wondering are these the correct range values the umtrx board supports. Umtrx about page states the RF output power as "100mW @ 900MHz, 50mW @ 1800MHz RF output power". This is already a valuable improvement and I can live with it, but I am just wondering about higher output power values. Also thank you Arif for your contribution.
