The output of the DAC is a stair-step waveform that is rich in harmonic content. Normally these harmonics are removed by a low-pass reconstruction filter. The BasicTX card does not have one, however, which allows you to transmit at 16 MHz, then bandpass filter (externally) the 9th harmonic to get 144 MHz. Your output power will be much lower, of course, than the fundamental. -- Johnathan Corgan Corgan Enterprises LLC http://corganenterprises.com _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
