Hello Scott, 

I've seen attachment on the list already, graphic files and .grc files too.

It would be very nice, if you could post your .grc files to the list.


Many thanks in advance,

Note to all who are inquiring — I haven’t messed with this stuff since March.  
The examples I have shown used version 3.7.5.1 — if there are newer versions 
since then, no guarantees!

I don’t think this list is attachment-friendly, so I’ll send a screenshot of my 
2m Rx flowgraph to your email address.  Don’t panic -- it’s way more 
complicated than you need for starters.  I was looking at 3 FFTs — RF, IF and 
audio, and I included an audio band-reject filter to get rid of CTCSS tones 
from repeaters.  Also had a variable RF gain control, a channel selector and a 
simple variable squelch.  

However, the basic “Hello world” ought to work fine if you just change the 
frequency to your target, and replace the WBFM receive block with an NBFM 
receive block at 5kHz deviation.  Maybe that’s what’s causing your distorted 
audio…?

Thanks for the replies and info.  Hello world with broadcast FM works and 
sounds great.  VHF/UHF specifically poor audio on rx; the voice is there but 
sounds terrible.  I haven't tried any tx yet.  Scott would you be willing to 
share your flow graphs for 2m and 70cms?  And Chuck, I do have the ham-it-up 
adapter; once I have VHF/UHF working I'll look at that.

NilesK4RNVPoor audio in what respect?  Tx?  Rx?  I have had good luck 
transmitting and receiving NBFM on 2m and 70cm, completing several two-way 
(albeit short-distance) contacts.  The only funky feature was the lack of 
“transceive” capability — I used 2 separate flowgraphs, and clicked to switch

Poor audio in what respect?  Tx?  Rx?  I have had good luck transmitting and 
receiving NBFM on 2m and 70cm, completing several two-way (albeit 
short-distance) contacts.  The only funky feature was the lack of “transceive” 
capability — I used 2 separate flowgraphs, and clicked to switch between them,

Hello all,
I am looking for either previously constructed or very generous hints on how to 
construct gnu radio blocks to receive and transmit FM signals on the VHF UHF 
amateur radio bands using HackRF One.  I have completed the available tutorials 
from Michael with success, but my personal attempts to use HackRF One and gnu 
radio on the ham bands have resulted in very poor audio.
Thanks in advance
