Hi all, I'm trying to read the real-time value of a stream from USRP. I'm considering using gr.probe_signal_f, but it seems to not work. I'm really new to GNURadio, so please forgive me if I ask some stupid question. My method is like this: #First generate a source from USRP: self.sour

Without a monetization strategy I don't see how the gnu radio project gets much past its current state. The problem is the functionality of a prototyper or student is implemented in about 20% of the effort for a full application. The documentation, testing, deployment, and maintenance of a real

I really think that projects like the ones in CGRAN have great value. The key point in my option is to implement some widely used standards _using_ the gnuradio framework. As examples I'd say TV broadcast standards like DVB, ISDB-Tb, radio standards like DAB, DRM, ..., this will greatly improve Gn

Tom makes the point that Gnu Radio isn't "shiny". Indeed, it isn't. Some people arrive at Gnu Radio expecting that it is an "end application", and walk away badly disappointed. They have in their mind a firm notion of what constitutes a "radio", and fully expect that Gnu Radio *is* that "radi

It's very likely that your on-disk sample format isn't what you've declared to Gnu Radio, and it's seeing some garbage numbers. Is it possible that it's stored as 16-bit I 16-bit Q in the file? If so, you'll need to convert it before any of your complex-float blocks do anything with it. On

If this helps, you can precisely time transmit packets using stream tags. If you know the time when a transmit occurs, you can intelligently mute your receiver. See notes in uhd_usrp_sink.h Also, it has just occurred to me that my stream selector block does not forward stream tags. - Mental note t
