I have been using this dongle for about 31 hours now, and I'm seeing something strange, I use the Scanner+Frequency Manger with SDR#, I have only 3 frequencies with this, but they start talking on 1 frequency, and end on one of the other, and it's still clear.
Am I missing a setting in something?
Also my PPM has not drifted with this dongle, it's 68 from the time I plugged it in, and now.

Any Fine Tuning Help is Appreciated.

Thank You!!!

I have several dongles (T and T2) and I've never seen any issues with drift past a 1-minute warm up period. It's odd that most seem to be in either the 60-70 range or 15-35 range. I think I had one that was not in one of those two ranges.

IF you are using the latest SDR# and have both "FREQ MGR" and "Frequency Manager" plugins installed, there is a bad interaction between them that may cause errors in the settings.

So what do I need to do, remove the one that came with SDR#?
I'm using build 1331.

I disabled the Frequency MGR (AKA Frequency Manager + Scanner) since I was using the other plugin for memories and scanning. The author of the plugin I disabled is working on a solution. What is odd is that on older versions of SDR# I had both installed and they worked fine.

You can disable it by removing the line in the XML file.

You also must not be using the latest SDR#, as Frequency Manager should have two *s beside it. Oh, wait - we are both using .1331, so I'm not sure why yours is only showing one star.

Anyway, a symptom I had of the issue was when selecting FM memories that gave bandwidth errors as well as incorrect bandwidth settings when selecting NFM memories. It would set it to 11.2 kHz when I had 8 kHz set in the memory. With that one plugin disabled, it works correctly. I think it stems from the disabled one wanting to set the settings even when it is not used to control the memory.
