We must not forget that each device has its own USB connection. One reason that getting all in sync on a ' per sample' base must be impossible. Still a multi user system like the websdr can achieved by overlapping the channels and let the software decide what channel the user's choice fits. For

How about the PFB synthesizer detailed by TR? I'd think all the dongles would have to be phase locked and references tones (or comb) used to calibrate the channels. If your signals are not crossing channels then maybe you could get away without that. http://www.trondeau.com/examples/2014/1/23/p

Thanks a lot, it really got me going! This is part of my learning process, if it's leading to nothing at all; that's okay. Somewhere I red about feeding multiple dongles from a single signal source, interesting A possible configuration: 1. Upconverter & 30 Mhz low pass filter 2. Cheap wideba

If you make an FFT block for each rtl-sdr source you can then interleave them all together and take your pick using the 'M in N' block. At the edges of each rtl-sdr frequency it will probably get quite messy as the clocks are not synchronised. An example of the use of the FFT and 'M in N' blocks i
