Hi Kai - As you found, when running GRC on Mac OS X from MacPorts, a bunch of import warnings are printed. They are harmless, though annoying. Interestingly, those printed for my setup never reference Cheetah; not sure if this is a good or bad thing! Mine instead read the following, which is

Well, good news on one front. I just built gnuradio from github on a fresh Linux Mint 18.3 install and the osmocom/rtlsdr stuff seems to work fine. So whatever problem was there has now been cleaned up. Thanks to whoever was responsible for that! Now on to patching QT Number sink... John

[Discuss-gnuradio] Strange messages from cheetah

Hi, since a few days, I get a lot of these messages when starting grc; gnuradio version v3.7-MacPorts-devel-git-47f86bce(20180302). Flowgraphs seem to work though…this still sounds disturbing. Any suggestions how to get rid of them? Best regards, kai Loading:

Hi Valian, great to hear from you! Well, Tkinter won't be of much help (we don't want to introduce yet another GUI framework), but your experience in working with GUIs would be of help. For other GUI Frameworks, aim for Qt5 / PyQt5. So, the real issue here is that the RTL dongles simply aren't

I doubt you've missed something basic! I don't know what I'm doing! I followed Brian's suggestions - but then also changed to 24khz audio out to see if that would help. So a decimate by 2 and then 20, so 960khz / 40 = 24khz. I should also mention that I have poor reliability with limesdr. It

Hi Matt, Perhaps I'm missing something very basic, but I fail to see how you reached the numbers for the sample rates. They look wrong to me. 1 Msps -> decimation by 4 -> 960 Ksps? Regarding performance, I'd say some optimization is required for better performance. I was able to demodulate WFM

I must now reflect and ponder to wisely choose my path. All options suck. I'd actually like most to go back to the build-gnuradio script but I haven't been able to verify that the issue I had last summer was addressed -- I don't know what broke or where, but with changes to librtlsdr around

Indeed, I was misjudging the syntax of QString.arg(double, int); the second thing is just a minimal width to be filled up with spaces. The optional precision argument is never specified, so Qt just does whatever the hell it feels like. Splendid functionality. Regarding moving things out-of-tree:

You can definitely do that! In fact, it's pretty easy. Really, read the tutorials I've linked to, and you'll quickly get an idea what to do when you want a moving average of the power of a signal (namely, convert it to it's magnitude², then apply a moving average), and once you have that, it's

Hi John, there's no dumb questions, maybe badly researched ones, and you definitely don't have the habit of posting the latter, so: Good question! It all boils down to this line in gnuradio/gr- qtgui/lib/numberdisplayform.cc: d_text_box[i]->setText(QString("%1 %2").arg(f, 4, ' ').\

Thanks, Jeff! I did your experiment and figured out that the setKnobs I do to test for settability hits the throttle and apparently resets it, even if there is no change. I added an additional command line argument to tell the script whether to check settability and then only do that the first
