Hi Marc, You could take a look at osmocom_spectrum_sense which is part of the gr-osmosdr package. It does exactly what you seem to want to do. Running it with "--help" lists the command line options. It is a python script so should be relatively easy to figure out. --Patrick __

Hi Arie, well, as said, it's not that there is inherently no way to use SDRPlay with gr-osmosdr, but the license of the SDRPlay software makes it impossible to ship software doing that, so that option is disabled by default. You're still free to build things yourself with that option enabled, but

Marcus, That is not good news. I'm not a software developper and 'API' and 'DLL' sound like 'magic' words to me. So as long as there's not a proper library for SDRPlay, gnuradio will not work with this device. I also understand that GNUradio under Linux Mint will not work with SDRplay eith

Sure! That sounds pretty possible :) I'm not so much of an expert on the osmocom source, myself, but you can just use a variable (like you would with a slider) for the frequency. You'd then probably programmatically change that from within python; the problem really is that you can never tell whe

Hi Arie, ah, ok, now that we know where you've got your windows installation from: As far as I can read Geof's table, the gr-osmosdr component compiled into that package does *not* have SDRPlay support. One would need to re-build the library and link it against the SDRPlay API DLL to make it work

Hi Soumaya, the B200 tunes slower and might need up to half a second when tuning further. You should hence minimize the amount of tuning, and instead of 4MS/s use a higher rate, a larger FFT size, and tune less often. The power normalization is truly, 100%, arbitrary. Since these dB are all "rel
