Hi Marcus, I have egg on my face! I messed up, Gnuradio works fine. I accidentally set one of the variables in the grc which contributes to the computation of the vector length incorrectly and made the size 496. Sometimes in the midst of these problems, we overlook the obvious. My mistake! Sorry for taking up your time and the community time. Thanks again for your feedback! George
