You're probably underflowing then (your CPU is not able to deliver enough samples to the LimeSDR sink block). With the FM flow graph, reduce the sweep time on your o-scope to see if you're actually transmitting 100% of the time.

And, if I try the attach gnuradio file, which is just a constant source of value '1' going to the limesdr sink block, I actually see a sine-ish wave without the glitchy behavior.

    I tried your grc and got the same result.

    See the waveform's envelope in this oscilloscope capture. Note the

    This isn't happening in SDRAngel.

        I moved the rational resampler block from the output side to
        the input side of the WBFM.

        The output of WBFM block needs to match the input of your
        LimeSDR.

        I don't have the LimeSDR software installed so I couldn't look
        inside the sink block.

        P.S - yes, you can post GRC's on the mailing list  - they're
        text based.

        the grc file in the original email. Attaching it here as
        well. (Don't know if the mailing list allows attachments)

            Hi Anish - since this is a gnuradio mailing list, the
            starting point would be to post your GRC - which is an
            yaml or text file.

            Hi! Any pointers to where I can start debugging this?

            Maybe run gnuradio-companion in debug mode?
            Do more simpler tests?
            Any other suggestions?

            I have a HackRF One and will try the exact same
            comparison there too ... SDRAngel & grc

                Hi,

                To properly explain the issue I'm facing, I recorded
                a video showing Oscilloscope waveforms.

                The gnuradio flowgraph is here:
                
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xQz1Kp_feAO1YrZRXXnMF25XEGgqVPSw/view?usp=sharing

                The various versions of the software/hardware
                involved are the following.

                gnuradio-companion: 3.8.2.0 (Python 3.6.9)
                gr-limesdr: branch gr-3.8 (last commit
                47511dd58de1695b70e1028366411bada85eb60f)
                sdrangel: 4.12.1
                OS: Linux Mint 19.1
                CPU: Intel© Core™ i7-4900MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz × 4
                RAM: 16GB
                H/w: Thinkpad T440p

                tl;dr
                I'm trying a simple test to create a sinewave output
                from a WFM modulator block. If there is no audio
                input, its WFM modulated signal should be a simple
                sinewave. If I test this with SDRAngel, I see a
                clean-ish actual sinewave in time domain on the
                oscilloscope. But if I try to do the same with
                gnuradio, it seems to produce a glitchy signal.

                Could I have any advice on what I might be doing wrong?

                Thanks,
                Anish // VU2TVE
