Hi all again,

I basically did what Martin suggested, after demodulation I lowered
sampling rate from 500k to 100k. Just to make brief reminding, I am working
on a
FSK receiver, working in 434MHz ISM band, symbol rate is 19.2kbps and used
modulation is FSK.
After making decimation, the number of samples per symbol within M&M sync
block changed, from previous 26 to 5. When I made this change M&M stoped
working properly, and packed demod is unable to detect preamble. I would
like to ask if somebody can explain me the way to tune this block, I don't
think
making 5 sliders and just changing values would be the solution, and there
must be some logical way to do that.

Best
Nemanja
