    I have problems with the RADIO_BAND function
    My skin file button line for it, looks like this:
    B11,73,254,71,87,"RADIO_BAND",
    But it does not work at all.
    What have I done wrong?

    Best regards
    Henrik

    thank you
    (i use silabs plugin, not the rr radio plugin)
    If you by "silabs plugin" mean the plugin of this thread then you are good to go.
    As soon as I have sorted the problem with the "RADIO_BAND" button I'll share the skin and jpgs.

    RADIO_BAND has no functionality yet. This function is there to switch between FM/AM but the siLabs tuner does not support AM.

    Use the command radio_fmmode instead. This will switch between FMI, II and III all containing 10 presets.

    Then your pdf documentation is wrong.
    The pdf has the radio_fmmode and the radio_band functions switched.

    Will try the radio_fmmode instead then.
    EDIT: It works with the "radio_fmmode". Thanks!

    The audio is brought out through the usb connector, why do want to put it on a cable?

    {edit}

    Silly me I can see why, to use HW to fix a software issue, silly me..........

    Did anyone notice the silabs application has no problem giving silence after quitting, and needs no hardware fix....

    Steps to solve (only for the brave at heart)

    1. Disable the "USB Audio Device" in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers Section of the Device Manager in windows


    Why cant you just do this every time it exits?

    And enable it when needed ?

    It seems so much simpler than a HW cludge.

    Finally got rid of the annoying static...

    Steps to solve (only for the brave at heart)

    1. Disable the "USB Audio Device" in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers Section of the Device Manager in windows

    2. Check that there is no static anymore (but there is no radio sound at all since we have disable the sound from the radio comming throught the USB device)

    3. Solder the wires of an old head phone with a 3,5 mm jack to pin 3 (left channel) of the amplifier chip (this is the middle chip on the SiLabs radio) and pin 5 (right channel). Solder the ground of your hard phone cable at some plave that is grounded in the USB device (I mesefl used the hole next to the antenna wire

    4. Connect to 3,5mm jack to your line-in connector on your soundcard/main board.

    This will give you crystal clear sound when using the radio and complete silence when not using the radio.
    [edit]
    Was making the post while you edited yours :P

    well, didn't think someone even was thinking of making a "patch" or something so then the only way was to fix it by doing some soldering!
