Hello,
I am trying to get my FunCube Dongle Pro+ working under SDR++ using your driver. I can get it working my FCD working under CubicSDR perfectly with your driver, however, when I first tried it the audio was "choppy" exactly the same way it is under SDR++. Again, using your driver. When check the driver settings under CubicSDR there is an additional "Run-time Setting". I don't know what this is for because there is no label but the lower the number the better. When I enter 192 into this field (the lowest I can enter, BTW) the audio comes out perfectly.

I am trying to find out where to enter in such a run-time parameter using SDR++. I have tried asking the author of SDR++ this question and you can see his response here:
AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus#508

Is there another way to enter this parameter to get SDR++ working properly?

Thank you for your time...

@ast Whats the license for SoapyFCDPP? Can you check in some kind of license file for it. Any standard open source license is probably fine. I need it so I can upload/package this in the PPA, probably needed for debian and others too. Thx

In a Raspberry PI 4 running Raspbian 10.7. Can help me about this error ?

I'm trying the FCDPP Soapy support with CubicSDR 0.2.5.

On the GUI we have 3 gain settings: IF, LNA and Mixer corresponding to what SoapyUtil displays about this SDR.

$ SoapySDRUtil --probe

No issue with If Gain,

But the 2 others stays always to 0 even if I move the selector, see screenshot.

I don't know if it's a CubicSDR issue or a FCDPP Soapy driver issue.

As LNA and Mixer can only be enabled or disabled, I wonder if it could be implemented as switch options like bias-tee on some other SDRs instead of gain settings.

I'm using utuntu 18.04

In windows7 Funcube Pro plus dongle is recognized as an audio device.
Using Zadig does not help either.
Any ideas ?

Hi,

Is alsa-base enough ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Managed to get the Funcube Pro+ working under OpenwebRX. Thanks for that!
But....the ppm-value has no effect whatsoever.
"Funcube": {
"name": "Funcube Pro+",
"type": "fcdpp",
"ppm": 8,
"rf_gain": 0,
"samp_rate": 192000,
"profiles": {
This is a universal parameter, so....
Who can help?
