Hi Sebastian - Thanks for putting together this final blog post, and the promo video is great. It's great to hear that you hit all of your milestones, and I'm very happy to see a successful v1.0.0 release in CGRAN. Excellent work! Nice work putting together a good selection of example flowgraphs

To clarify, if Koslowski's algorithm (since you already coined the term...) is *as* good as your original one, but also faster, you should not have duplicates. But if you did all the work to create software that actually outperforms the fast algorithm in some other aspect, there's no harm in keepin

Sebastian, thanks for sharing, and your awesome work! I would suggest if you have an algorithm with great detection characteristics, you should keep it. If you want another suboptimal but fast one, create a second block (or whatever it is). The first algorithm did cost you time, and its superior d

Hi Ben, thanks for your interest. The manual signal selection is like the demod function in gqrx. You can move and resize an overlay that will determine the signal information that gets passed downstream. I have not dealt with AMC for now, but based on my own experience with manual modulation reco

Hi Sebastian - Thanks for the great update! I'm curious how the "manual selection with the mouse" will work? For some of the back-end processing that is going on, like Chris's AMC work, not selecting all of the bins of the signal seems like it could seriously impact the success of those functions
