Hi,
Just want to say what a fantastic project and community this is! I hope to be able to contribute to it in time!
I had a couple of questions that might be useful for other members as well. Apologies if it's been asked before.
I have a cheap DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle from china: "RTL2832U R820T2". It comes with a tiny little ~15 cm antenna that I've been testing it with. After a few false starts I've managed to get it configured and receive some targets, but my range is very poor.
Any help / advice on the following would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Any help / advice on the following would be much appreciated!
- Whenever I do an "Initial PPM" or "Gain Check" I always see the line "Lost at least xxx bytes". Is this normal or an indication of a problem?
- When I do the channel scan, the vast majority of entries say "No valid PLL combination found... tuning to xxx failed". I typically get less than 10 channels, and the rest will show that message. Is this to be expected?
Thanks
