AFAIK the constellation sink just can't do QAM. The timing recovery loop is uses only work for PSK type modulation. (so yeah for 4 QAM is works because it's the same as QPSK) Cheers, Sylvain ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list

I have a desire to use GNURadio + USRP to run a 16 QAM signal through an amplifier, demodulate, and calculate BER or EVM or some measure of linearity. That's the long term goal. For the short term, I thought I would take baby steps. And I got stuck trying to make pretty constellation plots. My
