Hello friends,
I(shijesh) made debute to USRP & GNUradio a few days back.
I have a querry as mentioned after the environment observations given
below
My environment is :
O.S :: Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty fawn
CPU :: Core2 DUO Intel
gcc :: 4.2.0
SWIG :: 1.3.31
GNU CODE VERSION :: 3.0.4
when i tried to receive AM with the program “am_rcv.py” , it didn’t
work. Later on when i went through the code i realised that, it did not
feature the option for changing the SOUND CARD RATE , so i modified
the program as shown below, but even then it was all in vain

I know that it is a silly question for all of u friends, but for me it
really will be worth, Please extend your helping hand.
