Is there any current realistic time plan for bringing back ControlPort into GnuRadio? Or does any good alternative exist in GR? We would like to remote control a transmitter and a receiver. Rickard On 08 Aug 2014, at 23:25, Tom Rondeau wrote: > I want to warn everyone of a significant chan

Hi - How is it possible to transmit a file (as a signal source) repeatedly and continously without interrupts (with gnuradio & uhd) ?? Even without the USRP (i.e. just simulating with throttle & graphical sinks and a file source) interrupts occurs (time-periods of no samples) for each time th

OK, interesting. Yesterday I tried a brand new Lenovo T430s (direct out of box and with Intel 82579LM) with and without power supply connected and both worked flawlessly. That test was under Windows running Ettus precompiled UHD binaries. No extras, just "benchmark_rate --rx_rate 25e6 --duration

Dear list, I was trying to upgrade my UHD+ GnuRadio package to latest release (v3.5.2.1) on Mac OS X (10.6.8). Dependencies are as before from Macports. Everything with the UHD went fine, using cmake, followed by make and make install. Cmake for GR also went fine (sources via git), but make c

Hi list, Two questions: a) I would like to know the easiest way (of low complexity) to capture a certain length/number of samples (or time period), preferably in gnuradio, and then automagically turn off the uhd-reception (and save received samples to disk) ?! b) Are there any other (kernel
