This is awesome! I just pulled master and I am recompiling it right now. Thanks you both so much for the help. I clearly still have some tuning work to do either way, but it would be great to get move up to 3.7. I will let you know if this clears it up. I have my fingers crossed that it will.

Red face over here. There was a bug in correlate_access_code_tag -- which only gr-smartnet and gr-ais use, so far as I know. The fix was pulled into master a couple of days ago. This could explain the discrepancy you're seeing in the preamble mark. Pull latest GR master, build, and see if it fixe

Thanks Andy! Good catch - I made the changes you suggested. I was just doing a simple back of the envelope calculation to come up with channel size. It does look like cleans things up and adding the waterfall graphs does make it easier to see. Unfortunately, it does seem to change the decoding.

The good news is. the GFSK block doesn't do anything specific to Gaussian FSK. So I guess tha tall works out =) You're outputs might be more illustrative if you rebuild it in from the blocks actually inside the GFSK demod block: quad demod > clock recovery -> slicer On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 12:

It actually looks like the control channel for Motorola SmartNet is FSK: "On the control (data) channel the base station transmits 84 bits frames at 3600 bit/s with direct frequency modulation of the carrier using Frequency Shift Keying (FSK). " I will at least see if I can get something that look

Also, my understanding for the PLL blocks were that they were ideal for "strong carrier" signals like AM. When I say strong carrier i mean a signal that has an obvious carrier which isn't "hidden" under modulation.. Anyway, the GMSK block might be a good place to start. -John On Fri, Oct 17, 20

It doesn't have frequency correction - I can probably follow up with some ideas on how to implement that part. But the GMSK demod might do OK for you initially. It doesn't do anything intelligent to deal with the data shaping - its just a non-coherent slicer. If you want to design in GRC but kee

Thanks for looking into it! To be honest, I am not really good at RF. I based my code off the python code in gr-smartnet. The fsk-demod python file is here: https://github.com/bistromath/gr-smartnet/blob/master/src/python/fsk_demod.py It is quite possible that it just happened to work because of a

John, I use the BE FLL for auto-doppler correction in the rare case where I am not actively correcting for doppler. But, the correction is *really* slow. I'm probably not using it correctly, but it works OK in that rare case when it's all I've got. Very Respectfully, Dan CaJacob On Fri, Oct 1
