Hi All,

My name is Patrik Tast from Vasa, Finland.

I this week received the Ettus USRP with daughterboards BasicRX and 800-2400 
MHz RX from CA, US.
I fired it up today to test the BasicRX side using the usrp_wfm_*.py and nbfm 
and everything works as expected. I am able to hear what ever FM channels with 
great quality.

Since I am a wxapt guy, http://www.poes-weather.com/, the usrp_wxapt_rcv.py was 
my next test in the examples directory.

NOAA 17 @ 137.62 MHz was here just (usrp_wxapt_rcv.py -f 137.62e6 -V 0) and all 
I could hear was German radio comming through. Extremly faintly, I could hear 
the TICK-TOCK sound in the background (I also could have been imagining, it was 
so unclear) and (just) some change in the graph while the satellite was over me 
(45 degrees).

When I changed to the R2FX-receiver (dedicated APT-receiver) the signal is 
there http://www.df2fq.de/english_version/r2fx_eng.html

I could not find an author to the usrp_wxapt_rcv.py nor could I find a GRC 
block diagram for it.
I can see that the author is aiming for 32 kHz bandwith but I suspect there is 
something missing?
APT spec is at http://www2.ncdc.noaa.gov/docs/klm/html/c4/sec4-2.htm

I'm using Fedora 9 and GnuRadio 3.1.3 (latest stable release, not from svn)

Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Patrik
