Forum: GNU Radio modulation packet loss

When doing any type of modulation, I'm losing the last packet or two. 
I'm
wondering if it's possible to either get rid of packetization all 
together
or to output the piece of the last packet received even though it 
doesn't
get filled completely. Inside of packet.py, it seems to be stuck in 
here:
msg = self._msgq.delete_head()

and doesn't get to call

ok, payload = packet_utils.unmake_packet(msg.to_string(), 
int(msg.arg1()))

Another issue I've been having that's less important is whenever I'm 
using
it with USRP's from one computer to another, the beginning chunk of data
gets lost. This may have to do with some sort of synchronization but I
would have no clue where to start with that.

Thanks, Patrick
