PiAware v6.0 adaptive gain

[emilburzo]

(The release announcement email barely came out and you already updated the docker images, amazing!)

One of the highlights of the v6 release seems to be the adaptive gain.

What would be the easiest way to try it out with the docker image?

Hi @emilburzo, sorry for the delay in implementing this.

PR #124 implements the following:

The following settings control the adaptive gain configuration of dump1090 when using RECEIVER_TYPE=rtlsdr.

Environment Variable	Possible Values	Description	Default
DUMP1090_ADAPTIVE_RANGE	true or unset	Set to any value to adjust gain for target dynamic range.
DUMP1090_ADAPTIVE_RANGE_TARGET	A value in dB	Set target dynamic range in dB.
DUMP1090_ADAPTIVE_BURST	true or unset	Set to any value to adjust gain for too-loud message bursts.
DUMP1090_ADAPTIVE_MIN_GAIN	A value in dB	Set gain adjustment range lower limit (dB).
DUMP1090_ADAPTIVE_MAX_GAIN	A value in dB	Set gain adjustment range upper limit (dB).
DUMP1090_ADAPTIVE_DUTY_CYCLE	A percentage	Set adaptive gain duty cycle % (1..100) See Reducing the CPU cost of adaptive gain

Once PR #124 is merged, this issue will automatically be closed. After this, the new image will build (will take about 1-2 hours). Once complete, please pull the image and update your container.

Please feel free to re-open the issue if you're still having problems after that.

Thanks.
