[Discuss-gnuradio] Need help with LFRX

Hi all ! I am interested in observing spectrum around 200kHz and tried the following command : ./usrp_fft.py -R A:0 -f 20 -d 112 with a coil antenna connected to RX-A input of LFRX daughterboard. Should it work ? If so, does it mean that there is something wrong with my antenna ? Regards, P

Hi, I'm doing some tests on the microtune 4937 DI5 RF TUNER MODULE (3x7702) to determine the modules gain sensitivity. Essentially, i'd like to reproduce the IF AGC and RF AGC graphs, shown in the modules datasheet. I intend on using the _set_rfagc and _set_ifagc methods in the db_tv_rx.py modul

Hello, one task of the project I have been working on is to collect raw 4-bit samples from two input to a basic RX daughterboard (RXA, RXB) connected to two IF signals. We have been working on reducing the number of bits per sample taken from within the rx_buffer.v file. In that file we are c
