Dear Ed Troy: Please note that my file is tuned to a different station (94.9MHz), so you may have to fix that. Did you try plotting out the PSD estimates or waterfall using QT GUI sinks (or WX alternatives)? If what you are getting is a white noise, you may want to double check the incoming data.

Hi, Thanks for the file! I am beginning to think that I have something wrong with my Pluto since that does not work, either. I just get noise out. I am going to try it on another pc later. I am running Ubuntu 17.04 under VMWare since I don't really have any dedicated Linux machines. But, it sh

Dear Ed Troy: Update: I was able to reproduce (..or maybe create a similar) problem on an another computer; the problem was mainly due to buffer underrun (may have to do with the data rate of the PlutoSDR source) . The two-clock problem may also exist (but is not tested). There should be a better

Dear Ed Troy: (Also, it is not a simple flowgraph, but I heard that there is a test build of GQRX for PlutoSDR (gr-iio based). You should be able to use that to demodulate WBFM signals, if that is all you want..) Regards, Kyeong Su Shin On Mon, Dec 18, 2017 at 1:34 AM, Kyeong Su Shin wrote: >

Dear Ed Troy: Actually, I did re-test this with a PlutoSDR (I do have one unit at home, although I do not usually carry this with me) and your flowgraph worked on my PC + PlutoSDR once I reduced the sampling rate from 5MS/s to 2.5MS/s (and adjusted the decim ratio accordingly). Could you try diffe

Hi Kyeong, First, sorry about the double transmission of my message. I did not attach [discuss-gnuradio] to the first one and when I did not see it, I figured it got lost and so resent with the correct subject line. I have checked my board and it does seem to work down to 90 MHz. I need to ru

Hi, I have been trying to get my Pluto to work with WBFM, but I am not having any luck. I am attaching a grc file that I am pretty sure should work, but it does not. It just generates sporadic noise. I did the changes recommended to get the Pluto to work over a wider frequency range, and the resu

Dear Ed Troy: I don't have the PlutoSDR with me right now, so I cannot test it now, but a few things to check: -Make sure that your Pluto can go down to 90MHz alright; it is only rated to operate on 325MHz - 3.8GHz, and not guaranteed to behave well on such frequencies (even when you did made the
