maximum number of dongles that can be used?

[Patrick Onesty]

Just upgraded my system to a Pi5 w/8gb, I'm running 7 dongles but it only seems to decode 4 at a time. Is this the limit?

auto_rx *should* work with more than 4... but there's always been problems running many RTLSDRs on one USB bus. 

Once you are over 2 RTLSDRs, it's really worth switching to either an Airspy Mini or Airspy R2, it'll do a lot more....

Thanks for the info Mark, I was looking at getting an R2 the other day. I will consider that option.
