Is "full IQ" utilized?

[RocketScienceSmurf]

I enjoy and use this software on a virtual x64 server on a remote site but connected to the same antenna I use an additional rtl-sdr-receiver that gives much better SNR value. I have switched around both receivers to eliminate that as a potential problem. Not sure if it will affect but I was thinking "full IQ" could be the issue. I can not see a way to turn it on or off.

Thanks for your feedback. What options did you used?

I use the regular (band, my call sign, my grid locator and gain) but I tried "help" to see if there were any other interesting options to use but did not find any option to either disable or enable full IQ. The software works great but there are not many HAMs in my area that have utilized my little receiver. My grid locator for the receiver is JO77dl Den tis 25 juli 2023 04:34Guenael, VA2GKA ***@***.***> skrev:

Full IQ don't mean anything in this context. RTL receivers are IQ receivers when you use them in the appropriate frequency range (ex. 30-950MHz). For any IQ receiver, there are frequency to avoid (center frequency, close the DC, very noisy, and fs/2), and the best spot is fs/4. In addition, this specific frequency allows the use of a simple mixer, very economic in term of calculation.
Take a look at the code: https://github.com/Guenael/rtlsdr-wsprd/blob/main/rtlsdr_wsprd.c#L158
