Here are two debug logs from LimeSuite GUI. In one, I load the settings that gnuradio does to the limesdr and see the debug log. The other is the settings file which the sdrangel writes.
If I diff them, among other differences, this is what I see in the end of the sdrangel-debug-log DEBUG: Selected: VCOL DEBUG: csw 169; interval [166, 172] DEBUG: M=195, N=3, Fvco=1300.000 MHz And this is what I see in the gnuradio-debug-log DEBUG: Selected: VCOM DEBUG: csw 174; interval [171, 177] Now, I'm *very* new to this.. but could it mean that different VCOs are used in both cases, and in the case of gnuradio, it maybe has some issues to stabilize to some freq?
