You are seeing the lower bound clipping in the nlog10 block. Try looking at it with the scope sink, you should see some bits twiddle in the wind. -Josh On 05/31/2010 03:03 PM, Marcus D. Leech wrote: I'm trying to "carve off" about 250Khz of bandwidth around 38.5MHz, (actually any frequency

[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP with Basic_RX

2010-05-31 Thread Marcus D. Leech
I'm trying to "carve off" about 250Khz of bandwidth around 38.5MHz, (actually any frequency between about 25MHz and 40MHz) using a Basic_RX and a USRP2. In GRC, I created a simple flow-graph with a USRP2 source, and an FFT sink. I set the tuning parameter of the source to 38.5MHz, and what I ge
