Ciao Andrea,
not sure if GNURadio is a requisite to you or rather a possible tool to
achieve your project.
Either way, you can have a look at QSpectrumAnalyzer that is open source
and does exactly that.
https://github.com/xmikos/qspectrumanalyzer
At the very least you can have a look at the way the spectrum chunks are
collected.

Cheers
Stefano IZ0MJE
