Hi all Newbie here. I am using FLEX 2400 daughterboard with USRP. On the exploring GNUradio web page it is mentioned under the title "what goes in FPGA" that there is a NCO and Decimation filter in FPGA. I did a quick scan of the FLEX 2400 receive schematic and it appears to me that it

As mentioned earlier, I'm working on a front-end board for the Basic-RX to provide some gain and selectivity for HF use. Question -- has anyone figured out what sort of gain is optimum ahead of the the Basic-RX for use as an HF receiver? I can easily tweak the front-end design to provide anything

Hey, 1) I want to add a switch for which USRP (the which_board argument) is used in the example scripts. -w seems to be used by some scripts (usrp_siggen.py for example); is -W open? 2) What's the proper procedure for submitting patches? I've seen people email to the list... Thanks, Dan _
