Hi Paplo, a recommendation first: Don't use Nabble to access the mailing list; instead, sign up directly to the list on https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio , because that makes it much easier for you to follow discussions here. Modern Mail clients (e.g. GMail's web interface) make it pretty easy to sort mailing list mails.
Anyway, the DC blocker, as documented at [1][2], just uses a cascade of four or two moving averages to calculate the DC component, and then subtract it from the signal[3]. These are not reset – but really that, moving, continuous averages; the 1024 is just the length of that average Personally: Not my favourite block in that while it does what it should, it's always kind of hard for me to remember what it does exactly if you really care about that mathematically. Also, it's meant to make DC removal very computational efficient - still, it's one of the few blocks that we haven't converted to use hand-optimized vector operations [4]. So, you might as well first think about how much of the frequency range around DC your want to remove, and where you can afford to lose actual signal – the DC blocker is really just another high-pass filter, and hence isn't perfect, either (that'd be mathematically impossible, anyway). Another popular trick is to tune with an offset if your signal bandwidth allows that – moving the DC spike out of your signal right from the start and then using a frequency xlating FIR filter to get the signal you want to exactly 0Hz.
