Hi Daniel,
that README refers to things of the past (when you specified a
decimation rather than the sampling rate you want), and "USRP" refered
to what we nowadays call the USRP1.

In the version of the usrp_rx_hrpt.grc, from which the .py gets
generated, the USRP source is just configured to 4MS/s.

The question is whether 4MS/s is really the optimum rate; I haven't
studied the HRPT signal enough to answer this. In principle, for the
100MHz devices (N210/N200), 4MS/s is a suboptimal rate, since the
decimation (25) is odd, and I'd try with something less strange, like 5MS/s.

Best regards,
Marcus
