[Discuss-gnuradio] Extra RF shielding?

2017-10-25 Thread Bakshi, Arjun
I'd like to make a shield for my usrps. I have a significant direct path from the transmitting antenna to the receiving usrp case. I want to eliminate this path and receive only from the rx antenna. Are there any hacks I can use to make a makeshift rf shield for my usrps? Thanks, AB

It seems the problem resides in the relationship between the wav file source and the windows audio sink. The win audio sink is playing "live" audio fine The wav file sink can record that same audio to a file That file plays back fine in VLC. These steps appear to validate that audio sink is

Thanx for testing with the RX8200. I believe the two failures are not valid modcod's. DVB-S2X 8PSK 26/45 only exists for short frames (which it seems the RX8200 does not support). In the Python script, there should be even more checking with regards to short/normal frames. DVB-S2X 16APSK

If you're sending the stream too fast by increasing the symbol rate, then some buffer on the receive side will overflow eventually. Here's an 11 minute stream to test with. It's muxed at the same rate as adv16apsk910.ts. http://www.w6rz.net/thecooler16apsk.ts Most likely the RX8200 is
