I always mentally check against the data point: 300 MHz => 1 meter (since c ~= 300 Mm/s). Above that should be less than 1m; below that should be greater than 1m.

That's the sort of power that is used for time machines in science-fiction movies. You might want to check that number. :) Regards, Andy _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
