question: autogain1090- disable RTL AGC ( -10) about adsb-scripts

[wiedehopf]

If you want a fixed gain setting, don't use autogain.

Also -10 is equivalent to a gain of 56 or so in regards to ADS-B due to the short messages, AGC never reacts.

thanks for fast response.
no, i dont want a fix gain setting, i want use autogain1090 but i dont want autogain1090 set the gain to "-10"! is that possible?

[wiedehopf]

either autogain switches back and forth between 49.6 and -10 .. then you just set a fixed gain of 49.6
otherwise it won't go to -10 ....

anyhow .... run the install again, i changed it so the ga= works in the default file.
what you're doing doesn't make much sense but whatever ....

thx, i will try it.
why should it not make sense? most time planes i receive are far away, so signal is low (and gain high) but sometimes few planes are very close with very! strong signal and i dont want they "overload" the receiver input. i´m not really familar how it really works, if u have some informations sources (links) about it...?

The autogain will only run once at night.
It's not dynamic gain adjustment, it just finds a good compromise.

-10 can be a valid outcome of the logic so you shouldn't remove it.
well if it toggles between 49.6 and -10 you should remove it.
but then you can just as well turn off autogain and just set 49.6

sorry i don't want to explain this further, good luck understanding it on your own :)
once you understand it, you won't need autogain.
