Device

Configures RTL-SDR device settings

Setting Description Default
Connection type Specifies the RTL-SDR device connection type. When set to Universal Serial Bus (USB), the device must be connected locally to this system. When set to Network (rtl_tcp), the device must be attached to a system running the rtl_tcp server application. Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Device index 1 When multiple RTL-SDR devices are connected via Universal Serial Bus (USB), specifies the index of the device to connect to. If only one RTL-SDR device is connected, leave set to the default index 0. 0
rtl_tcp server address 2 Specifies the IPv4 address of the rtl_tcp server where the RTL-SDR device is connected. NOT SPECIFIED
rtl_tcp server port 2 Specifies the port number that the rtl_tcp server will be listening for client connections. If no port number was specified to rtl_tcp leave set to the default port number 1234. 1234
Input sample rate Specifies the input sample rate for the RTL-SDR device. Lower sample rates will improve system performance, whereas higher sample rates will improve audio quality. 1.6 MHz
Frequency correction calibration value (PPM) Specifies the frequency correction calibration offset to apply to the RTL-SDR device. If the calibration offset for the device is not known, leave set to the default value 0. 0
