RSP1A bias-t not working

unixpunk commented 6 years ago

Hi, new to this type of SDR and to SoapySDR as well, so not sure where this issue would be or if its maybe even a hw issue, but the bias-t option as seen through CubicSDR using SoapySDRPlay (all just built from source today on Ubuntu 14.04) doesn't seem to work. I'm also not sure if the RF Notch option works, not sure best way to confirm. Other than this, seems to work great in Cubic. (I'm new to that as well, came from SDR#, gqrx using rtl-sdr and hackrf.)

Thanks!

That's the wrong branch by the looks of it. Currently, the right branch to use is: Rebased_SDRPlay_pull_request_34 whilst it's in testing. Hopefully it will push to master very soon. I've just tested the RSP1A Bias-T with the latest CubicSDR and this branch of SoapySDRPlay and it's working fine.

The test branch has now been merged into the master - so just clone the master again and rebuild it and you should be good.

That did it, thanks!
