Hooking in on the discussion here. I struggle with something similar. I
know how to work gnuradio, that’s simple enough. What i want to learn more
about is how to configure my own SDR using gnuradio. So what the various
blocks are used for, when to use what block, etc.
I have experience LISTENING to an SDR using various devices, now i want to
BUILD one myself.
The final objective is to learn how to decode well known signals like the
various HAM radio protocols like PSK31, etc. I know that all has been done
before and the easy road is to take an existing flow graph, copy it and see
that it works. But to understand what is happening is a whole different
story.

So, without trying to hijack the thread, i am NOT looking for a gnuradio
manual, i am looking for documentation on how to USE gnuradio for signal
processing.

Thanks for the advice,

Ton.
