Hi,

I output the audio from GQRX to DSD for decoding using UDP. nc -l -u localhost 7355 | dsd -i- -o pa:2 command is used to launch DSD and pipe in the UDP data. The connection is working fine and I am listening to a DMR amateur radio station. However, I found out that the inlvl is usually more than 100% which is not desirable from the DSD wiki operation (Operation). The wiki suggests typical values of 40% for C4FM and 66% for QPSK and indicates to change the input gain using Datascope mode. However, I am not sure how to achieve this. An excerpt of the program output is shown below.
Also, the voice I heard is a short period of sound for like half a second, and the most circumstances are the Unknown burst type: 1101. I think that the more than 100% inlvl issue is affecting the voice decoding.
