Hi all,
Thanks for sharing that, Marcus! I agree with Glen that it looks like a great tool, and I look forward to testing it out -- feel free to post it on the Open Source Radio Telescopes mailing list as well in case there are folks there who would like to use it, too. So, back to the original question -- I am still not having any luck getting my RTL-SDR dongle to work with GNURadio on Windows 10, despite the fact that the dongle works just fine with SDR# on the same computer. Is this a known issue, and if so, are there any solutions I could try? I was hoping to use GNU Radio to test out a new antenna I built soon, so if anyone has any advice about this, again I would really appreciate hearing it! Many thanks in advance!

It's a very impressive piece of work. If one has only one SDR, it is necessary to change the input number of channels to 1, I think(?) Then connect the 2nd channel (chan1) to the output of the source block. The modified .grc file works right away. Cheers Glen On Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 11:36 PM, Marcus D.

I've tried to plug in my SDR and run the flowgraph (attached), but I keep getting the output below: Generating: 'C:\\Users\\Deana White\\Documents\\top_block.py' Executing: C:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\gr-python27\python.exe -u C:\Users\Deana White\Documents\top_block.py Win32; Microsoft Visual C++ version 14.0; Boost_106000; UHD_003.010.001.001-0-unknown gr-osmosdr c653754d (0.1.5git) gnuradio 3.7.11.1 built-in source types: file osmosdr fcd rtl rtl_tcp uhd hackrf bladerf airspy redpitaya Using device #0 Generic RTL2832U OEM usb_open error -12 FATAL: Failed to open rtlsdr device. Trying to fill up 1 missing channel(s) with null source(s). This is being done to prevent the application from crashing due to gnuradio bug #528. gr::pagesize: no info; setting pagesize = 4096 I've run zadig for the RTL-SDR, and it works just fine with SDR#. Do you have any advice as to why I might be having this problem with the GNURadio flowgraph? Thanks very much! Have a great evening and take care, Ellie I hope someone can help you, Ellie. My approach would be to install an operating system on your computer. :) :) [That was snarkasm, just in case it wasn't obvious.... ] Once you get it working, you (and Glen et al) might want to play with: https://github.com/ccera-astro/spectro_radiometer<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fccera-astro%2Fspectro_radiometer&data=02%7C01%7C%7C8d9abb52f00f49e9ccf008d57ab54e01%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636549841471892336&sdata=%2BYMCsIayCiKlERZybNHs4tg0Y97HaT%2FNYxpl2cY4rYM%3D&reserved=0> Cheers Marcus _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.gnu.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fdiscuss-gnuradio&data=02%7C01%7C%7C8d9abb52f00f49e9ccf008d57ab54e01%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636549841471892336&sdata=aQcm7dEORvEXcdayYQo605sDtteStNuxg9fDaKccoyQ%3D&reserved=0>
