I'm struggling to get my RTL-SDR feed using a RaspberryPi to work using rtl_fm. I think the issue is with the '-E pad' option. I have configured a fresh installation of the Raspian Jessie with Desktop, version July, 2017 per the Raspberry Pi RTL-SDR Broadcastify WikiPage. I've made sure to use the Osmocom release of RTL-SDR. The issue is, when I turn my squelch up so I no longer have noise, the ezstream feed drops out. If I leave my squelch down, it will keep streaming.
I'm starting the feed using the following commands:
Yes, I left the ampersand off at the end, I'm doing this for testing so I can easily kill everything. I've tried it with the ampersand on the end of the line, just to be thorough even though it shouldn't make any difference, with no change.
Can anyone with a working configuration pass on their pro-tips? I've seen in several threads that using the RTL-SDR dongle and a RaspberryPi does actually work. I just cannot figure out why I am a unique snowflake and can't get it working.
