I'm new to SDR and have been in it for about three months now, so this could be an issue that I created myself. I am running DSDPlus Fastlane with an RTL-SDR V3 dongle and scanning channels in the scanlist file. For the first couple minutes, I see the expected peaks and valleys in the spectrum display window (Top Picture), and I occasionally hear things. After running for a few minutes, I no longer see peaks/valleys as it changes channel. The line in the spectrum window stays near the bottom and I receive no audio when it does this (Bottom Picture). It seems that once the dongle is able to lock onto all of the frequencies (i.e. the "PLL NOT LOCKED" messages disappear) for some reason I lose reception. If I stop and restart scan, nothing changes. If I take the dongle out and reinsert it, I can see RF for a few minutes until we repeat the pattern. Anyone else experience this or know what is going on? I've deleted and reinstalled DSDplus on both my Windows and Ubuntu with the same results so I'm thinking maybe its the dongle?
