ReceiverRetune moves a running receiver to a new centre frequency without reconnecting. It is the only packet a client may send on a receiver connection after the ReceiverSessionRequest.

Layout

Field Type Description
packetId u8 Always 13.
centerFreqHz f32 New centre frequency in hertz. Finite and ≥ 0.

Behaviour

  • There is no acknowledgement and no new IqStreamDescriptor. Sample rate, block size and bandwidth stay the same.
  • The new frequency takes effect after a settling time of about 120 ms. Retunes received during that time are coalesced; only the latest is applied.
  • Expect a short gap or transient in the stream around the change.
  • A negative or non-finite frequency closes the connection. So does any packet other than ReceiverRetune.

Example

0D              packetId 13
4A 0C 61 80     centerFreqHz 2300000.0
