I've checked in the changes needed for gr-audio-osx to support both PPC and Intel Macs using the same codebase. Another change, moving towards interface-similarity with other audio modules, is that the Source now auto-detects the desired number of output streams, and internally does not do

Mike, I've used both the floating point and complex implementations of the AGC block, and they work fine. For most signals, using (1e-4, 1, 1) will adjust the gain to output a signal at +1 and -1. The second term will be the final peak output value you will get. If I'm remembering correctly, the f

Hi, all   The problem is HOWTO do carrier syncronization. I am using two USRP with FLEX 2400, one for Tx, the other for Rx. The RF of both Tx and Rx are tuned to 2.45GHz. I generate and transmit a QPSK signal. At the receiver, an obvious frequency deviation can be observed from the fft sink. And o
