Calibration steps and GUI has changed, I will not give any clue to check usability
Remember:
- SDR devices can only be used by one program at a time.
- If you have more than one device you can select which one you want to use in some tools and some others will take the first available device.
- Background processes are monitored and you will be warned if there are conflicts between devices.
- When a device is not being used the kernel recovers control of it and can be used to watch TV using DVB-T tool. Remember to scan available channels.
Never tested with a funcube but it should work.
It could be some errors with audio (pulseaudio) that we will fix in later releases.
Enjoy!
did some first trials with the latest beta software for the DSR-RTL dongle.
The Ais reception works very well. The Aviation AIS also works, but still no TV reception. However the DAB radio reception works very well
but not all the available station show up.
Anyway great progress again. Thanks for all the efforts.
Regards,
Bram

Each tool included in openplotter-sdr-vhf will need its own antenna for the right frequency but we have included the tools that more or less you can get data with a VHF/AIS antenna. TV reception is the most difficult to get with these antennas because TV signal is the weaker and you need a directional antenna and our antennas are omnidirectional. But if you are outdoor you should get at least the stronger channels.
