Hi Santos,

as you're transmitting FM, and not the audio amplitude itself (that'd be
AM), the amplitude you're receiving is really just what the NBFM
receiver interprets from the incoming signal. Just multiply with a
constant, and you're done. That very much is like the amplifier knob on
your analog radio receiver -- it scales the audio signal.
Information-theoretical, multiplying your signal so you can hear it
louder doesn't change SNR, and hence is a lossless operation.

I do see a problem with your flow graph, though:
Your NBFM transmitter produces a that has 10 times the sampling rate of
your audio signal, and your NBFM receiver reduces the incoming sample
rate to one tenth; that would be fine, but you're using a rational
resampler in between; so your RF samples aren't at the NBFM transmit
sampling rate, but at 1.05 times that rate. In other words: all
frequencies now appear to be 5% lower if you'd expect the sampling rate
to be the original one.
Now, in FM, that will scale your output amplitude (but you probably
won't be able to hear that).

Why are you using the rational resampler? All your downstream blocks
seem to expect a 220.5kHz rate, not 231.525kHz.

Best regards,
Marcus
