RTL-TCP is setting bias tee to the same value as sample rate

Open oddstr13 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Expected Behavior

I would expect bias tee to be a separate option, and not tied to the sample rate setting.

Actual Behavior

RTL-TCP is setting bias tee to the same value as sample rate.

I am not sure of what the actual consequence of this is.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Connect to RTL-TCP
  2. Observe in RTL-TCPs logs that bias tee is set to the same value as sample rate

BiasTee is a binary value (Enabled/Disabled), so setting it to a non-zero value will enable it.

As far as I can tell, RTL-TCP doesn't have support for bias tee in the UI, so I wouldn't expect the rtl-tcp server to receive commands to set it in the first place.

I humbly request that this issue be re-opened, as it does seem like something is not working as intended here.
