LimeSDR + SoapySDR + GNURadio + Mac OS X #131

Closed cfriedt closed 6 years ago

cfriedt commented 7 years ago

Hi, I've got a github project packaging GNURadio as a simple Mac OS X .app here. I've had success with several SDR's such as the B200 and RTL, but when it came to using the LimeSDR gr-osmosdr, although the device is recognized, I only get static on rx. There is definitely zero RF coming through. I've tried adjusting the gain via GNURadio and adjusting the frequency, but those do not seem to have any effect whatsoever.

The LimeSDR Quick Test works fine.

What's the status of LimeSDR + SoapySDR + GNURadio combination? Is it known to work? It seems that some of the hardware controls are missing..

could be the antenna selection mismatch? Theres three options LNAL, LNAH, LNAW which correspond to the ports named accordingly. Also the range of controllable gain is fairly wide, about 60 dB of range, so it might still be low gain, just a guess.
