I'm interested to know if it's possible to have RF gain in FMP (FMP24, in my case) adjusted automatically. I don't believe there is, but want to verify I'm not missing anything. Note that I'm not referring to audio gain, but RF gain (signal strength).
More and more I'm using DSD+/FMP24 in a mobile environment. I find myself in areas with simulcast trunked radio systems frequently, and without a portable radio that supports simulcast, I find this to be a good solution. It also allows better logging capabilities of systems/sites that I don't frequently monitor.
I find that even with a decent band-specific antenna, gain has to be adjusted fairly frequently while mobile. Either strong signals from nearby RF sites overload the SDR receivers, or elevation changes and obstructions cause signal to drop. Seeing this is pretty insightful to understand why my scanners struggle with signal also.
Any suggestions (aside from buying an SDS or Unication)?
PS - when stationary, once it's dialed in, FMP/DSD+ functions extremely well most of the time. It's a great application.
