For non standard installations of RTL-SDR library, the GNU Radio runtime and gr.osmocom drivers use the following variables in the cmake command line. The paths specified are just examples:

- Library: `-DGNURADIO_RUNTIME_LIBRARIES=/opt/install/gnuradio-3.7.5.1/lib/libgnuradio-runtime.so`

============
Known Issues
============
FM is mostly untested.
- Actually NFM seems to be working pretty well
- WFM does not work for broadcast
- RTL frontend will have bad aliasing in noisy environments. Considering the size of the hardware there is no place for proper filters. With good filtering and a good antenna up front these devices work remarkably well for the price!
RTL frontend will have bad aliasing in noisy environments.
===================
Done since the fork
===================
- Added ppm correction for the LO of RTL-SDR. This uses the corresponding function in the librtlsdr interface (range -99..99 ppm)
- Added a preset update button (the diskette with the yellow corner) to be able to save the current settings on an existing preset
- Added variable decimation in log2 increments from 2^0=1 to 2^4=16 allowing to see the full 2048 kHz of spectrum if so you wish
- Better handling of rtlsdr GUI display when settings change (initial load, load of presets)
=====
To Do
=====
- Display center frequency of the receiver in scope. Presently there is no way to set the frequency precisely
- AM demod. What about the air band?!
- Add the possibility to change the brightness and/or color of the grid. Sometimes it is barely visible yet useful
- Possibility to completely undock the receiver in a separate window. Useful when there are many receivers
- Larger decimation capability for narrowband and very narrowband work (32, 64, ...)
- Even more demods ...
- Triggering capability like on expensive spectrum analyzers to trap burst signals
- recording capability
