Just tried it out. I like the new layout. Tried it with 4 ports, and it's quite manageable.Hi Marcus, It's great to hear that there is interest in using the block. I can change how parameters are displayed but I don't have clear idea how to do this so the user experience with for a systems with 8+ inputs will be improved. I can separate RF options to another tab but it won't improve much - you will still have a very long list of parameters that you will have to scroll. I can do this - it is not any problem for me (actually I already did this after your post: https://github.com/ptrkrysik/multi-rtl/commit/dfda15b5332cafb7da9288707fc9c58be91370b6). But in my opinion if you want to have more than 8 inputs you can consider coding the flowgraph in Python. GRC might be cumbersome in itself when you have blocks with so many ports.
Indeed, my fork includes API for turning on/off dither, which I inherited from keenerd. But without gr-osmosdr support, I needed to force it.Regarding the coherent operation - I have to play with the driver prepared by you. If it works fine - it is the way to go in my opinion. Some people might still need dithering (i.e. because they don't care about coherency but want to set the frequency more precisely). One solution for this might be some additional option in the gr-osmosdr block that turns on/off dithering. Or if frequencies for which dithering is used can be easily listed/computed - then dithering can be just not used when the user sets frequency that doesn't require it.
