VibeSDR Android 10.5 (486) — the RSP sweep

on GitHub

Mostly SDRplay this time, from #29 — thanks to bower01, whose RSPdx-R2 turned out to be missing rather more than the antenna switch he reported.

SDRplay RSP

• Antenna selector. RSP2 (A / B / Hi-Z), RSPdx and RSPdx-R2 (A / B / C), RSPduo (Tuner 1 50Ω / Tuner 1 Hi-Z / Tuner 2 50Ω). Drawn from the list the radio itself publishes, so an RSP1/1A/1B shows nothing. Lockable by the server owner, and shown greyed with the reason rather than hidden when it is.
• Automatic antenna by band. Type it the way you type the allowed bands — 0-30MHz Antenna C, 30-150MHz Antenna A, 150MHz+ antenna B — and the aerial follows the dial. Leave it empty to choose by hand.
• RF notch, DAB notch and bias-T now work on every model. They were reported as present on the RSP2, Duo, RSPdx and RSPdx-R2 and implemented only for the RSP1A/1B, so on those radios all three switches drew, were pressed, and did nothing. The same gap meant the notches were not restored after a stall recovery either.
• HDR on the RSPdx family (high dynamic range below 2 MHz, where a strong medium-wave signal overloads an ordinary front end), the Duo's AM notch, and the 24 MHz reference output on the RSP2 and Duo.
• PPM correction now reaches the RSP — it never had any.
• The RSPduo is now opened explicitly in single-tuner mode rather than with whatever the enumeration left behind.

Everyone

• A range written as 144-146MHz meant 144 hertz to 146 MHz. A bare number is hertz and the unit only bound to the half it was written on. This affects allowed/blocked bands and per-band gain ceilings, not just the new antenna list — worth a glance at your own band settings. A unit at either end now covers both.
• The word "operator" meant the server owner in 14 places. It now says "the server owner": an operator is the person using the receiver, which is the listener.

Android 7.0+. Sideload: allow installs from your browser or file manager, then open the APK.

The SDRplay work is untested on hardware — only RSP1A/1B here, and neither has a second aerial. Written from the vendor headers and marked as such in the source. Reports very welcome.
