Do you have more than one Rx daughterboard installed, or just the TV_RX? Try this: $ usrp_fft.py -f 107.9M -d 16 This should show you 4 MHz of spectrum centered on 107.9 MHz. There should be a bunch of stations visible. Try adjusting the gain, too. What kind of antenna are you using? I've had good luck with an el-cheapo "FM dipole" from my local drug store, radio shack, etc. Eric _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
