My thoughts Ton,
I just made the FM receiver Marcus advised and as discribed in tutorial 6.
This week I will ask a few questions about the configuration of these blocks.
Understanding is the key word for me.

Thanks

Henk

It boils down to having an understanding of DSP, which proceeds from having an understand of signal processing in general.

There are several good books, including the works of Richard Lyons, and Bill Sethares.

There's also:  www.dsprelated.com  and www.complextoreal.com

Also, if basic RF signal-flow concepts are new to you, the first few chapters of the ARRL handbook are quite useful, even if you aren't planning
  to become a ham radio operator.

Hooking in on the discussion here. I struggle with something similar. I know how to work gnuradio, that’s simple enough. What i want to learn more about is how to configure my own SDR using gnuradio. So what the various blocks are used for, when to use what block, etc. I have experience LISTENING to an SDR using various devices, now i want to BUILD one myself. The final objective is to learn how to decode well known signals like the various HAM radio protocols like PSK31, etc. I know that all has been done before and the easy road is to take an existing flow graph, copy it and see that it works. But to understand what is happening is a whole different story.

So, without trying to hijack the thread, i am NOT looking for a gnuradio manual, i am looking for documentation on how to USE gnuradio for signal processing.

Thanks for the advice,

Ton.

    Hi Jan
    Believe me, I am reading the tutorials, also the youtube lessons
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9SLAnGlGQs

    But for me it is easier to understand basics when there is a
    basic working layout available. There is so much about GNURADIO
    out there that a noob also needs some help with the help. (lol).

    I am not a technician, developer or electronic engineer so the
    learning curve is steep.

    Thanks for your replay and links.

    When the RTL works I will post the layout here for others.

    Best regards

    Hi Henk,

    I suggest you start with the guided GNU Radio Tutorials [1].
    They contain the basics to work with GNU Radio.
    In Tutorial 6 it is explained how to use a hardware source
    (USRP, RTL Dongle) with the audio sink [2]. But I suggest
    finishing the other tutorials first if you have no experience
    with GNURadio.

    Cheers and happy hacking,
    Jan

        Hello all
        4 weeks ago did my first steps into Linux Ubuntu.
        I am trying to get the RTL-Dongel to work but still not
        succeded in that,
        Time to ask some help.
        There is a image with pre-installed drivers and GNU-Radio
        companion,
        http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GNURadioLiveDVD
        I have downloaded that and put it on a USB stick. Works fine.

        In the terminal I enter rtl_sdr -t and the RTL-dongel is
        found and it works.
        Then I start GNUradio companion, it is version 3.7.7.1. The
        RTL is found in
        the sources.
        But the radio has a blue output and the audio-sink a orange
        one. In the
        Help-doks it says that this is because of the datatype
        but I cant change that anywhere. The dongel properties-block
        gives "complex
        float 32".

        Can you help me getting it to work? Only with a working
        system I can go
        further learning.

        Thanks
