Dear Marcus,

Thank you for your advice. A colleague and I tried working with those examples 
and found the receiver block only produced zeros in simulation. Google led us 
to this unanswered post: 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2017-03/msg00211.html  We 
were faced with a demonstration deadline and resorted to the packet encoder.


For me, this is a completely new and interesting area of study. I am grateful 
for the gnuradio community and will return to the examples you have suggested.


Best regards,


Diane

Dear Ms. Williams,

I'm sorry you fell into that trap, but:

Packet Encoder/Decoder is known to be buggy. That's why it's in the
"deprecated" category. Simply don't use them.

You'll find a better example in the GNU Radio examples that were
shipped in /usr/share/gnuradio/examples/digital, specifically in
/usr/share/gnuradio/examples/digital/packet/packet_loopback_hier.grc
and the detailed packet_rx.grc and packet_tx.grc.

Best regards,
Marcus
