Hi Marcus,

Thanks for your response. I'm trying to make a channel simulator where my
signal going into the USRP gets attenuated by free space path loss.
Typically, I know that this is done through the use of hardware, like fixed
attenuators, but I wanted to go into an all DSP approach with the use of
GNU radio.

Regards,
Jose
