Hi Rachel, this looks like a system overload. The source generates too much data so that the cpu will not leave any cycles for the rest of the application.
In the category "misc" there's a block called "throttle". Use it before the FFT block. It will reduce the number of samples that will go into the FFT. So the FFT function has less work. I also recently got involved with gnuradio the first time. Have a look here: http://www.csun.edu/~skatz/katzpage/sdr_project/sdr/grc_tutorial1.pdf * http://www.csun.edu/~skatz/katzpage/sdr_project/sdr/grc_tutorial2.pdf * http://www.csun.edu/~skatz/katzpage/sdr_project/sdr/grc_tutorial3.pdf * http://www.csun.edu/~skatz/katzpage/sdr_project/sdr/grc_tutorial4.pdf * This is a fantastic tutorial that should help you around these hurdles.
