[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2 + BBN receiver

2010-11-27 Thread Bishal Thapa
Hi, Does this happen to anyone using BBN code (USRP2 version) with gnuradio-3.3.0, that only when I set the decimation factor to 4, I see the most of the beacon messages sent from the APs around the lab at 1Mbps captured, otherwise, I hardly see half of the beacons sent (I compare the capture

Hello list, I have been fiddling around with USRP2 version of BBN code for a week now. First, one observation I found is: if and only if I set decimation to 4 (i.e., 25Msps), I see almost all of the 1Mbps packets sent by my 802.11 sender. This includes data packets (1400 bytes payload), and

Hello, I am using USRP2 version of BBN code to look at AP beacons as seen by the USRP2 host. There is lots of S printing going on, which keeps me from reading AP beacon information from STDOUT (unless I save the output to a file, which I prefer not to). Is there anyway to enforce the printing of
