Hi all,
Did anybody try to use bladeRF 2.0 micro xA9 as a spectrum scanner?
From whats I see it looks like a bad idea: after setting bandwidth and sps to 29.65 MHz and 59.30 Msps respectively it takes ~0.012 secs to execute bladerf_set_frequency(...), which yields ~3.12 seconds to cover available frequencies range of 70-6000MHz in 200 steps.
And it's without reading actual data
Is there any chance I'm doing something wrong and it could work faster?
Thank you in advance

The bladeRF 2.0 micro also has fast locking profiles, so it may even be faster than that! There is no limit why the on-board AD9361 couldn't go so fast, just needs software to drive it.
