Gerald Youngblood with Flex Radio has made a multimillion dollar business using V.19. He would be dead in the water without it being reliable. I have used V.19 on windows, linux, etc. I converted the gr-audio-alsa code to gr-audio-portaudio superficially and checked it in. It will soon rise

Today Eric showed me how to use gr_kludge_copy to finish the modifications to wfm_rcv_pll and we now have stereo receive on FM. These modification are a testimonial to the GnuRadio code and the ease with which it can be used to glue things together. I wrote the lines down, Eric put in

Almost. Translate the carrier to where you want it to be and then use a complex bandpass filter to pick off the sideband. make the filter edgesL H for your favorite bandwidth (H-L) for USB, make a complex filter with edges L, H for LSB, make a complex band pass filter with edges

No. The problem was caused by our own error. Under some pathological conditions you want to reset the ring buffers and start over. We talked ourselves into believing all off this was protected and we were just plain wrong. I made the initial error and Frank recaptured the error in
