Hi Marcus, You pointed out important notes. The first one is that there is two possible solution for implementing such wideband system: 1- Bringing the whole bandwidth to the baseband. 2- Using timed command for tuning to the desired center frequency. The second point is that the instantaneous

I believe that even with the MF you'll have ISI because you have 4 samples/symbol in this example. Only if you down sample at 1 sample/symbol (at the right epoch) will you get rid of the ISI and get a clean QPSK. best Achilleas ___ Discuss-gnuradio

It may just be that your audio-subsystem doesn't actually support the sample-rate that the graph is configuring it for. Maybe. At least the test audio from the audio control panel is clear. Here's the --help for dial_tone.py Usage: dial_tone.py [options] Options: -h, --help

Hi Bananpi, On some Linux distributions the RTL dongle USB can be grabbed by other applications at boot time, leaving it not available when you use gnuradio. If that is your issue it may be resolved by blacklisting the RTL device. Modify or create a file: etc/modprobe.d/rtlsdr.conf and add:
