When you set for a higher gain, (generally: for a Class C/tuned
amplifier) the available bandwidth becomes narrower. So what you see, is
quite typical for a pre-stage set up for a higher i/p gain factor.

When the bandwidth changes, the stb0899's step size also might change,
though the demodulator can easily track a slightly off-centered signal,
though not the ideal case. Involves a bit of an additional overhead on
the on-chip CPU, as far as i can think.

The patch looks fine as to temporarily disable the PLL loop initially
and enable it later on. Will apply this change.

Thanks,
