lazy SAM mode on KiwiSDR's
« on: September 17, 2024, 1623 UTC »
For months now, the SAM mode on KiwiSDR's is lazy :
after each new tune, the frequency remains on the edge of the passband (or even outside?).

There are two ways to get out of this paralysis :
- switch in AM mode, then back to SAM
- click on Reset in the SAM line.

An automatic reset of the SAM mode should be part of any retune more than 1 or 2 kHz away.

Curious, weak signals and/or strong signals? Also have you tried tweaking the SAM PLL lock speed (DX, med, fast) in the audio tab?
