I completely concur with what you wrote below and what Scott Johnson wrote some time ago. USRP is an incredibly powerful platform and substantially low cost - I am somewhat befuddled by how it has not attained greater prevalence but at least some of the reasons are plainly obvious - incomplete

HI Pascal, If you google for GRC tutorials, you should easily find some good ones on the web. FSK is definitely possible to the best of my knowledge. Data packets with header,.. CRC can be transmitted but I think you need to store the bit sequence in a file and the received and demodulated data

Hi Colby, Even if the two boards have slightly different frequencies, this should not impact decoding of the receive signal as the received signal jumps between the I and Q channels (depending of course on the packet lengths and assuming that you have a packet decoder on I and Q separately). M
