rtlsdr_demod_write_reg failed with -9 r82xx_write: i2c wr failed=-9 reg=17 len=1 r82xx_set_freq: failed=-9 WARNING: Failed to set center freq.

Trying to hop between frequencies of 315M and 345M and this message appears. If i run one center frequency I have no issues.

On Windows? If yes, try to build with this RTLSDR library instead. It does not depend on the libusb junk.

I get the same error message (on Ubuntu 22.04, with the distro's rtl-433 package version: 21.12-1), using a Flight Aware RTL SDR with built-in LNA.

That version is too old to diagnose. But there will be major changes to that part with #1978 soon and things might just work then.

Any SDR parameter changes are now effected from a different thread, this should be faster and without any further problems.
