I'm surprised to see such a recent posting on a fairly basic, but informative instruction on tuning FM broadcast stations! I have had my SDRplay dx for several months now, but am always trying to figure stuff out to this day. One thing I might note, is you mentioned hitting the swbfm button for more bandwidth? I discovered that it turns on the stereo decoder. When that happens, the audio level drops down big time! While on the subject, you should have gone over how to open the RDS window and explain what all the info there is. I laugh when I listen to hard rock stations and the listed genre is "Education"! LoL. I do like this short tutorials though, thanks!
Really wish you could decode the FM HD channels with SDRUno, like the Europeans can decode the DAB stations. I went to the RTL SDR website and scrolled nearly to the bottom of the list of various software apps. There is a listing for a command line app that says it will decode the HD signals in Linux. I would imagine that there would be no waterfall or spectrum display, though.
Sorry, I've been out of the Canadian loop for a good many years... Whats HD in FM?

Is there a plug-in that allows you to listen to aa stations HD channels?

You don't have to use SDRuno, there's standalone applications that can decode FM HD.
Where does the RDS info display?
I am also curious as i don't know what stations i am listening to
Click the RDSW button at the top of the RX CONTROL window.
