Unfortunately 3.103 (from the debian unstable repository) does not appear to work at all for me. If I set the frequency: radio -f 88.5 I get: Tuning to 88.50 MHz Invalid freq '138650000'. Current freq out of range? When scanning: radio -s produces no output whatsoever before going to the curses interface set at frequency 138.65. > About setting the frequency not working, I've just tried with > my own si470x device, and this works fine: > radio -f 97.6 > > As for the reported hardware / software version, my usb-stick has: > > radio-si470x 4-2:1.2: software version 1, hardware version 7 > > Where as your has: > > radio-si470x 2-3:1.2: software version 0, hardware version 7 > radio-si470x 2-3:1.2: This driver is known to work with software version 7, > radio-si470x 2-3:1.2: but the device has software version 0. > > Since my device works fine, in the latest driver the software version check > has been lowered to version 1.
