Hi Marcus, Thanks for the detailed response - this helped me clear a few things up. Firstly it made me understand why GNU Radio when run with low sampling rates (<32k) seemed to behave "erratic". My problem was that the buffer kept being filled but my input source block was dependent on input da

I think I may have found the problem. The NBFM output rate was 25ksps while the audio sink was 24ksps. So there was a slow accumulation of excess samples. That also explains some gaps I saw in the channel output waterfall. Adding a rational resampler to the NBFM block output seems to have

Hi Wolfgang, well, GNU Radio is not really based on a "requesting data" model -- it's mainly buffer driven. This means that as long as there's space in your block's output buffer, GNU Radio might (and will) call your work() function. Typical buffer sizes are e.g. 8192 items. So, GNU Radio uses bac
