I haven't looked at the code, but it maybe a problem if the sample delay is larger than the number of samples per work() call (because of pruning). This sounds like a bug -- can you please post an issue on gnuradio.org? Thanks! M On 03/14/2016 02:00 PM, Liyang Zhang wrote: > Hi all, > > I am pl

Hi Jesse, this is not embarassingly simple! So, the point is that GNU Radio is really totally agnostic when it comes to sampling rates. For all the blocks, sample streams are really nothing but a sequence of numbers. Whether the signal was physically sampled at 1MS/s or 1S/s doesn't matter; the on
