The error checking of the parameter range will happen inside of UHD rather than in the GNU Radio wrapper. The existing check is only for the type of the parameter, in the gain case a numerical value is supplied so it passes the check.
The first command will result in a tune to 2.4 GHz. The second command will result in maximum gain as UHD will coerce the value by limiting it to the valid range. The value actually set can be read using the API, but isn't readily available in GRC, you'd have to use a function probe or custom python block to call it. The third case should be caught and logged as an error, it looks like a check is missing from this `if` statement. There might be a good reason, but that's something I'll check on. In the meantime you can try adding a GR_LOG_ALERT or ERROR statement to this block. https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/blob/a0adcd3347c7ffd6ef3c42ce7705a23978774d3b/gr-uhd/lib/usrp_block_impl.cc#L558 Derek On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 4:18 PM, Jason Matusiak < ja...@gardettoengineering.com> wrote: > Thanks Derek, that last link helped get me in the right direction.
