Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Re ceiving DBPSK side not working.
No I am using TVRX to receive and basic TX to transmit. I have changed the following values, Receive. Decimation=256 gain = 20 Transmitter. Interpolation= 512 Multiply Const=5000 I am now receiving my audio file and saving the data into another file. Though the data is not the just the file data because the play back of the song it has a lot of noise. But sorry I have version 3.3.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Re ceiving DBPSK side not working.
Ok I had used the muliplier in a previous code using Frequency Modulation which is why I used it again. But thanks for that. I will change it to a smaller value. I also had it set up with the interpolation to 512 and the decimation to 256 but it didn't work either. Though I will set these values to the range it has to fall between. As for the transmitter, I had connected the output of the modulation block to a scope to see if it was transmitting the correct waveform, which it was. Though the problem came when I try to receive. When I tune into the frequency I am transmitting at there is no signal at all, which I am not sure why that is happening.

Can someone please help and tell me what is wrong with my code. My idea is
to create a sine wave->modulate->demodulate->display on scope. I get the
following error below. Can some explain why? Also is my idea of my flow

[Discuss-gnuradio] Usrp Runtime Error
Hi, I am using the usrp_wfm_rcv_nogui program to listen to FM radio. I have also added code to the program so that I can perform a scan, for stations in my area. My code works by first creating a usrp_source() for the FM code. When I want to scan for stations I press a button on my keyboard and then it stops the fm code from running by using tb.stop(). I then remove the flowgraph from tb so that the usrp source is not in use. The code then creates a new usrp_source() and scans frequency band. I then stop the scan code with scan.stop(). The code then does the same procedure as the FM code did to stop the source. When I return back to start the FM code again I get a RunTimeError: can't open usrp. I don't understand why I am getting this error if I have used the source once, stop that source, removed the source and then created a new one. Help is greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Usrp-Runtime-Error-tp29473867p29473867.html Sent from the GnuRadio mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
