Optimal gain for RF pulse detection in RTLSDR

I'm trying to optimize the SNR of low-power RF pulses (from wildlife telemetry tags @166Mhz, unmodulated, a few DBs above noise floor) as they go into an RTLSDR. … The detection performs windowed FFTs and then convolves each frequency with a 2.5ms square pulse profile, i.e. looking for 2.5ms long RF pulses at each frequency. …

How do the sx1276 radio AFC, AGC, RSSI, FEI work in FSK mode (RX)?

The primary reason to bother is that AFC and AGC are generally necessary because they improve reception but they can cause receiver lock-up. This lock-up has been a "feature" of Semtech's FSK radios g …
