Hello GNURadio Community,

I am having trouble getting the PLL Carrier Tracking Block to work
properly. I designed the GRC with a qpsk constellation modulator at a
sample rate of 40 k Hz. I designed the PLL Carrier Track block to correct
incoming waveforms that are off centered from DC by +/-500 Hz (setting
max/min freq with the formula +/-2*pi*f(=500)/samp_rate). The eye test at
the PLL outputs seems to show that the input signal freq is recentered
around DC, however, the signal level coming out of the PLL is greatly
reduced and appears to be smeared. So obviously, when I follow this block
with a Symbol Sync block it does not lock and the constellation points
continue to rotate.

Will appreciate any help to guide me in the right direction.

Thank you!

Regards,
George
