1- The gqrx label button is a known problem. 2- To examine the path settings, open run_gr.bat in a text editor and it should be pretty apparent what it's doing. Take a look at the paths it is settings and see if that matches with what you would expect with where you installed it. And you can

The Qt GUI problem can be fixed by downloading a version of the qwt dll from the binaries site, but Wx will work in the meantime. By the end of the month a new version of the binaries should be posted that will fix that issue. Is the gnuradio-grc.png causing a problem other than the windows icon

Flac doesn't really need to know what the actual sample rate is; you could tell it 500e3 and you should get the same data out after compressing and decompressing it. On Sat, Jul 16, 2016 at 11:20 AM, Dave NotTelling wrote: > Marcus & Dan, > > Thank you very, very much

Hello Juha, idea: if Dave's distribution of amplitudes was a little more benign than the Radar near/far problem, and he would favor full resolution when the signal is weak, but could live with a bit of degradation due to quantization when the signal is strong, what about storing a logarithm of

Can you reduce the number of bits that you are using? With radar signals, the receiver noise most of the time excites only about 8 bits out of 16. Ground clutter or meteor echoes excite nearly all of the bits occasionally, so I can't just truncate to 8 bits. In this case, bzip2 actually does a

Marcus & Dan, Thank you very, very much for the detailed information! Dan: That's exactly what I thought when going into this at first. But, I decided to give gzip a shot just to see how well it did. Turns out that (at least for bursty environments) it almost halves the size of the

He means "twenty faculty", ie. $20!=\prod\limits_{i=1}^{20} i=1\cdot 2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot\dots\cdot19\cdot20$. n! happens to be the number of permutations of n distinct objects, and this is my guess where he got that from; however, (0011) doesn't contain 20 distinct objects, e.g.
