.SH Device specification
You can specify the source or sink device using a comma separated string of argument=value pairs. The always-up-to-date block documentation with examples is available ​right here.
.SH FCD Source
.TP
Argument
Notes
.TP
fcd=<device-index>
0-based device identifier, optional
.TP
device=hw:2
overrides the audio device
.TP
type=2
selects the dongle type, 1 for Classic, 2 for Pro+
.LP
The "device" argument overrides the audio device used by the underlying driver to access the dongle's IQ sample stream.
.LP
The "type" argument selects the dongle type, 1 for Classic, 2 for Pro+.
.SH OsmoSDR Source
.TP
Argument
Notes
.TP
