[Discuss-gnuradio] Help to record GPS samples.

Hello, I'm working on a Gps software in conjunction with a usrp and dbsrx. Unfortunately my dbsrx has an hardware problem and I can't acquire Gps samples. Can someone record samples in L1 frequency (1.57542 Ghz) for me in 6.4msps/complex or 6.4msps/shorts and make it available for download or

The mapping you ask describing isnt what I am getting. According to your scheme, with the Basic RX board, I shouldnt be able to get any FM radio stations, but I am able to get them. Why is this? Isaac -- View this message in context:

If your main use for this board is going to be broadcast FM, I would strongly urge you to use a fixed oscillator and a simple mixer to downconvert the received signal into a range that avoids alias. The fact that FM broadcast band is split by a fold when used for direct conversion makes it a bit
