Running multiple direct sample RTL-SDRs

[stevegpgh]

I have been able to get a RTL-SDR v3 running in 80 meter HF by implementing the Keenerd fork and changing the argument in the config_webrx.py file to -D2 (for Q branch); however, I want to run multiple RTL-SDRs on the same server, and can't figure out whether there is an option to have a device ID to associate with -D2 for the second RTL-SDR running the Q branch? I tried various combinations to get it to recognize the second device, without success for Q branch use.

For troubleshooting: I am doing this on a copy of the openwebrx folder (so I have openwebrx and openwebrx2 folders), and I was able to get the copy to work on the first single RTL-SDR. I did change both port configurations (web and iq) in the copy. I was able to get it to recognize the second RTL at the same time the first was running Q branch by using '-d 1' on the second, got second functioning well for 453 mhz range. D3 did not seem to work when I tried it.

The reason is the 2.4 mhz bandwidth of the rtl device limits me essentially to a single band (in my case 80 meter). Want to be able to run multiple bands of HF.

Does your computer to see all three dongle's? Use lsusb or rtl_test? With Keenerds fork for the Q branch -D# switch will do the job and the -d # is always been an option for device. Just make sure you can see all the three dongles
