OK, this is driving me nuts. How do I keep this RTL dongle from drifting around? On my feed I have to keep adjusting the PPM value in order to decode the control channel and digital voice accurately. It wants to be anywhere from 68 to 70 ppm, depending on, well, who knows? The alignment of the planets? The position of the moon? The time of day? I have no idea. I set it, it works for anywhere from an hour to a day or so, and then it gets out of whack again and I have to keep changing it. As a result, either the feed sounds like crap at times or worse, there's no sound at all for hours on end while I'm at work or asleep. VERY frustrating.
I'm ready to fix this. Do I need a new dongle, or can I do something to this one to fix it? It's the NooElec dongle - not sure what the model number is but I can post that later today. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and if so what worked to fix it.
Thanks guys (and gals),
