Hi all -- For the last several months, I've been working, as a TAPR project, to develop an open-source-like license for hardware projects. We've recently posted a 0.9 version for public comment, and welcome your input. The license is aimed at real hardware (the stuff you solder on) rather

[Discuss-gnuradio] GMSK Modulator Discontinuity

I have been playing around with the GRC (amazing tool - really love it!) and I was just taking a look at the GMSK Modulator with some random data. I couldn't get the random data block to work properly, so I used a file source that is just some ascii text. I didn't think this would matter since

Hi, it would be very useful to have a wx sink that displays the value of its input. This way we can check in real time values that change slowly (eg, snr, bit error rate, etc.) Unfortunately there is no how_to_write_a_wx_block so I have no idea how to go about it. If someone can help me by
