I want to implement the equivalent of a carrier-operated relay -- a
squelch block that provides an "on" signal at a threshold input
signal level, which then passes or blocks data at some point further
downstream rather than right at the point where the sensing is
happening.
Are there GRC blocks that will allow this?
Thanks,

John,
Yes, look in "Level Controls," there is a "Simple Squelch," "Standard
Squelch," and "Power Squelch" as well as a simple "Threshold." You'll
have to look closer into this blocks to find out how they work.

Hi Tom --
The challenge is that the three squelch blocks all sense and switch the
data stream at the same point -- the input signal is passed or not based
on its level. What I need instead is to sense the stream at one point,
and use that information to switch a different data stream.
I could picture two blocks -- one that sets (and updates) a boolean
variable based on the current signal level, and another that switches a
separate sample stream based on whether that variable is true or false.
Does GRC support message passing between blocks in that fashion?
The practical example is an FM repeater where the transmitted signal is
turned on only when the received signal level exceeds a threshold.
Thanks,
John
