Yes, if I remember it right the executor only checks a source for output space and then calls work. If the work function doesn't produce any output it's broken according to the executor code. /Ulrika -Original Message- From: discuss-gnuradio-bounces+ulrika.uppman=foi...@gnu.org

Hi Umair I believe the decimation factor you have chosen is beyond the maximum allowed (I think, from memory this is 512, which is well less than 1M = 1 times 10^6). It seems you are trying to sample the passband signal to show a spectrum at 1 GHz, however a digital-down conversion is performed
