Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gain control extreme non-linearity--is my hardware broken?

[Lee Patton]

I have seen that problem too. It is the result of incorrect python
integer/float semantics during the setting of the gc2 variable in the
set_gain() method found in db_dbs_rx.py. I will post a complete patch
once I am finished investigating some other gain issues that I have
noticed. 

For now, the following change should work:

old: gc2 = int(round(31 * (1-gain/24)))
new: gc2 = int(round(31 * (1-gain/24.)))
                                    ^
                                    |
