Thank you all so much. I am able to get the single peak with the sin wave.
I go through the readings when time allows, thank you for the suggestions.
In the mean time, I am curious to know if GRC is able to produce a FFT for
a wide band. For example, can it produce one for the FM radio channels,
show its various peaks.
