Thanks, so it is. Unfortunately though, I have discovered that the gain for an RFX card cannot be adjusted (min=0, max=0, step=0), requiring a massive multiply value in gnuradio-companion, so its all very distorted. :-(

Which means that a straight conversion to a short integer is going to yield zero most of the time. Try putting a multiplier block in front of your file sink--maybe scale those -1.0 to +1.0 to +/- 32767. -- Marcus Leech Principal Investigator Shirleys Bay Radio Astronomy Consortium http://www.sbrac.org _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
