Adding offset to frequency messsage?

GNU Radio
1

I’m using the freq message output of the QT GUI Frequency Sink to drive
the
freq message input of the Frequency Translating FIR Filter. Since I
have
set the the Center Frequency of the QT Frequency Sink to 7E6 Hz, that
means
I need to subtract that value before I send it to the channelizer so it
only
falls between -Fs/2 and +Fs/2.

I tried converting the message to float via PDU to Tagged Stream but
that
does not work:

thread[thread-per-block[1]: <block pdu_to_tagged_stream (8)>]:
pmt_length:
wrong_type : 7.12348e+06

Is there a proper way to do this, i.e. convert to float, add the offset,
and
convert back to message?

Or is there a way to do this within the Xlating FIR Filter center
frequency
field.

Thanks,

No, the only way to use that feature currently would be to set your
center
frequency of the gui sink to 0. I suppose I could see adding another
configuration option to tell the message interface to use or not use the
center frequency. It’d be easy enough, but more configuration options
tends
to lead to more confusion. If you really want to display the RF
frequency
in the sink, though, this would be your only option. If you do it, feel
free to send us a patch via github (with good documentation to explain
the
different modes) and we’ll see about incorporating it.
