Thanks Dan Yeah the magic number seemed to be a rate around 300kbps. Getting really good results now. Thanks again, -Joe In my experience the USRP stops performing very well at low bitrates. This is due to the current code's inability to handle large frequenc

A number of people have asked how they can help out on the USRP2 development effort. For now, we have the following: First, the USRP2 FPGA will have a microprocessor core in it. The one we have been using has a couple of issues, most notably that it seems to only run at around 33 MHz. The main

Eric, The QA code (qa_gr_fir_ccf.cc) forces a 16 byte alignment. When the malloc16Allign is replaced with a regular malloc in the QA code, make check fails. I believe that there is an additional requirement that the data passed to the low-level SSE code have the real sample start on the 0th or

Make check does pass, and there appears to be QA code (qa_gr_fir_ccf.cc). I am not sure that if the QA code actually gets called by a top level "make check" If you would like me to look into it I can but I suspect whoever wrote the QA code originally could do it a lot faster than me:-) On 10/1
