Jon BenistonandClaude Opus 5 7261593d03 Web API: settings that were declared but never read or written
A number of settings keys existed in the spec and in the SWG classes but
were missing from the plugin's webapi handlers, so setting them over the
API silently did nothing: dnrScheme on the SSB demodulator, aprsData on
the M17 modulator, pulseShaping on the packet, PSK31 and RTTY modulators,
audioDeviceName on Simple PTT, period, autosave, autoload, autosavePeriod
and filename on SID, and several on Star Tracker, XTRX and the Android SDR
driver input.

Three more were spelled so that they could never match. The channel
analyzer tested for "rationalDownSample " with a trailing space, radio
astronomy tested for "sweep12Start" and "sweep12Stop" rather than
"sweep2Start" and "sweep2Stop", and AFC read "hasTargetFrequency" into
m_transverterTarget rather than "transverterTarget". The channel analyzer
also now accepts the shorter "frequency", "downSample" and
"downSamplerRate" spellings alongside the existing ones.

MapSettings::applySettings ignored rgbColor and mapType, so a patch
carrying them was accepted and then dropped.

Registers MCPServer.yaml in the web API resources so it is served with the
rest of the documentation, and drops a redundant nested guard in the Sky
Map report left by the QString leak fix.

Android SDR Driver Input Plugin

Introduction

This input sample source plugin gets its I/Q samples from the Android SDR Driver or SDRplay Driver apps. These apps enable support for RTL SDR, HackRF and SDRPlay SDRs.

Interface

Android SDR Driver input plugin GUI

1: Start/Stop

Device start / stop button.

  • Blue triangle icon: device is ready and can be started
  • Green square icon: device is running and can be stopped
  • Red square icon: an error has occurred with the connection to the device. The plugin will continually try to reconnect.

2: Center frequency

This is the center frequency in kHz of the device.

3: Stream sample rate

Network I/Q sample rate in kS/s.

4: Local oscillator correction

This is the correction to be applied to the device's local oscillator in ppm.

5: DC offset correction

Check this button to enable DC offset correction on the device.

6: IQ imbalance correction

Check this button to enable IQ imbalance correction on the device.

7: Bias tee

Check this button to enable a bias tee, if the device supports it.

8: Direct sampling mode

Use this button to activate RTL-SDR's direct sampling mode. This can be used to tune to HF frequencies.

9: Sample bit depth

Specifies number of bits per I/Q sample transmitted via TCP/IP. This should be 8 for RTL SDR, but can be 16 for SDRPlay.

10: Server TCP Port

TCP port of SDR Driver to connect to. Typically 1234.

11: Sample rate

Specify the device's sample rate in samples per second (S/s).

12: RF Bandwidth

Specifies the bandwidth in kHz of the analog filter in the device. Available bandwidths are dependent upon the device.

13: Gain

Specify gain in dB applied in various stages of the device. Available gains will depend upon the type of device.

12: AGC

Check to enable automatic gain control in the device. How AGC works is device dependent.
