OK, this explains. But shouldn't then these attenuation be given as negative number for consistent control ? As well the overall gain 0..42dB should be given in the same direction...

OK, I mean from a perspective of a pure naive user who used SoapySDR as a tool to run some SDR platforms like RTLSDR, AirSpy and LimeSDR and now he...

I type: SoapySDRUtil --probe="driver=sdrplay" and get the reply: (...) ---------------------------------------------------- -- RX Channel 0 ---------------------------------------------------- Full-duplex: YES Supports AGC: YES Stream formats: CS16, CF32 Native format: CS16 [full-scale=32767] Antennas: RX...

Well, I think it does relate. My initial interpretation was: there are two elements with settable gains in the chain and one can vary by 39dB and the other by...

I don't mind clippng the requested gain value accoriding lo hardware limits, it is the sign, which is important for good interpretation. If it says "gain" then larger values should...

Would be nice to be able to use the full gain range. From the current SoapySDR interface I can only set numbers from 0 to 42 and so likely I...

Clearly, an optimum setting would be very nice here. A naive user does not want to go into the hardware details. Other hardware achieve this somehow, although the algorithm can...

The thing is, this needs customized code for various hardware interfaces. In fact, I started from AGC (I did not touch it, thus it was enabled by default) I only...

You cannot. The altitude is Standard Pressure Altitude thus is referred strictly to the static pressure and so depends a lot on the weather. The difference can be quite a...

There is actually an algorithm running there which attempts to do it automatically, it is just not displayed anywhere. I will think of making it visible.
