Though I'm currently on a ThinkPad, I like Dell Latitude as well. I prefer their corporate line over XPS, mostly because if you break something, say a keyboard, they have service manuals and parts. https://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/70/campaigns/xps-vs-latitude-heaI bought my last Dell Latitude

This should get you started. https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/DownloadDon't forget to use "recursive".Not all Linux installations are set up to complile code. You need to satisfy dependencies from the repositories. I never got pybombs to work. I build from git.

Yes my comment was for synchronous sampling. You need to window for a general purpose condition. A simpler explanation is that the DFT uses "periodic glasses." That is you take your sample and slap identical

When a signal is modulated, you need to use a FFT technique ‎to get the power. My experience is all based on outmoded analog modem design, but the idea is the same. The hardware FFT based spectrum analyzer sums

You can get a soft failure by overloading a receiver input, let alone a hard failure. If you are testing a $15 dongle, no big loss. If you are testing a real receiver, I would check to see what is the maximum allowable input power.  Using a signal generator is a matter of RTFMing.   Original

This isn't exactly the problem I was having since the polar tests failed for me. But as soon as the code is patched I will do a build and see if my problems go away.  At one time the polar tests passed on Opensuse for me , but to be fair it was on a different build of Opensuse 42.2. (Long

Now I understand the environment variable issue. Would it make more sense just to do a "make install" then see what fails on "make test"? Or will make test always use shall we say a custom environment? ‎The rest of the suggestions I will need to chew on later when on the PC.   Original Message

Funny thing you mention a clean installation. I found btrfs to be a disaster on opensuse. It turns out on some machines this is a known problem. It turned out the snapshots provided by btrfs were worthless, and it would lock up my machine. So I did a fresh install of opensuse on ext4 for the OS
