Thanks Neel and Johnathan. I have used UNetBootin to create a new GNU Radio live but I have set the persistent memory to 4 GB (Thanks to Richard Bell advice). It is zero by default so you end up with no memory to save your work by default and it seems it does not set it beyond 4GB. It feels like du

Amateur radio has also historically been a source of innovation and new technologies. This has been fairly constant throughout the 100+ years of amateur activity. In many cases, while a specific new technology may not have arisen directly from amateur radio activity, the innovative spirit that

Hi Tom, that's right, I don't operate that much myself. I do from time to time, and sometimes I also take great pleasure in worldwide CW contests, out in the German wilderness, in a tent :-) But just twice a year. The rest of the time I rather focus software development, APRS & Raspberry, SDR deve

Proposing a separate OOT ECLAT (Enhancing openCL Additions for Arithmetic Technology) VOLK module to contain these. I do think that we might end up in a situation where we have "classical" VOLK kernels for "small" vectors (ie. page size or smaller) and corresponding larger kernels, that really neve

Hi Marcus, My first idea is: python has to sample the 256 samples (for one period) from lookup table in exactly one second. So i think i need a timer which calls the next sample in the lookup table all 3,9 ms. My first idea above was to produce the sine wave from the lookup table (which i ha

Hi Marcus, Well, first: Signal Source can't produce 8bit signed integers by itself, so you'll have to convert whatever you configure the signal source for to char, eg. you could set it to "float" and use the "float to char" conversion. Make sure the result has amplitude 127. Properly configur

Hi Andy, this is python, so batteries included :) Use the "import" block to "import math". then, in the vector source's value field: [ math.sin(x/(2*math.pi)/num_samples) for x in xrange(num_samples) ] alternatively, "import numpy" and numpy.sin(numpy.linspace(0, 2*numpy.pi, num_samples)) Bes

Hi Martin, You can create a lookup table for pretty much anything using a vector source, it'll accept Python structures as inputs through GRC. i tested your suggestion and i am asking myself if there is an easy way to get a lot of lookup table values in to the vector value field of the vector s
