Hi Damindra, > 1-Is "packet_length_tag" propagate from the USRP sink to > USRP_source(that is from the transmitter to receiver)? No. There's no such thing as tagging electromagnetic waves :) That's why you need things like preambles to mark your packets for a receiver! Best regards, Marcus

Nikita, this utility stores data in raw, native format. For example, if you selected 'float' as the CPU type, the file will have 32 bit floating point I, 32 bit floating point Q, etc. You can read it with pretty much any tool. See e.g. here: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/FAQ#

Hi Vishwesh, you **must** make sure that the GNU Radio that is used to build gr-ettus, to build your OOT and to run GRC are the same. Otherwise, a lot of conflicts will arise, which will be specific to your PC, and we can't do anything about that; so please make sure you've only got one copy of G

Hello Vishwesh, that recipe installs gnuradio in your path too. I believe that if you run grc from from that prefix, your blocks will be picked up. The gnuradio from the prefix has the env_var GRC_BLOCKS_DIR setup so that it is included within the PyBOMBS prefix. On the other hand, when you open
