RTL Dongles

First, are you certain you don't have the SHIFT enabled?

If you set the PPM, it should be set everywhere. Your PPM does not change in different bands. If that truly is happening, your dongle is bad. Once you calibrate the PPM, it's calibrated everywhere.

I checked my airband earlier, and I get lots of activity. I can't hear the ground stations (too far away), but lots of activity.

You say you want to hear the airband, but you say you're tuning from 24-30 MHz. The airband is 118-136 MHz.

Shift is not enabled.

I am not a simpleton, I know where the air band is. I was scanning 24 - 30 Mhz because I wanted to check another AM band to see how it was with the dongle.

That's fine. I never called you anything, and anyone can make an easy mistake. But, we are trying to help solve your dongle's issue. If you post the pics, we just might see something wrong.

How about a screenshot of the RADIO portion of the window (the part that is cut off on the upper side) as well as a screenshot of the CONFIG screen? your noise floot looks very low.

That's not 'moonbounces's' screen shot. I don't have a problem.

Update

I am now receiving the air band. I use SDR Sharp and DSD + together so I also have to change my sound settings to use VB Cable, apparently the air band doesn't like the combination. What I did was to run SDR Sharp by itself and change my sound settings back to " Line In" and scanned the air band and got hits right away? Now I am a happy camper.

Thanks for posting the fix, and glad it's working now.
