[Error] GNU radio overheating rtlSDR

Open colinluthier opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug On the MeteorDemod branch the RTLsdr overheats after a pass.

respotic reports that in 1.8-Build-MD-Beta the GNU mode overheats the rtlSDR. Switching to rtl_fm solves the problem.

Hmmm to me both RTL_FM and GNU Radio heat RTL-SDR quite a bit. Are you sure you're talking about the SDR and not CPU? GNU Radio uses more CPU so it can heat it up more than RTL_FM.
