Yesterday I took the version from your first mail here, and it took me
only
a few minutes do adapt it to USRP1 and the 2m ham band. I only made some
quick tests, looks very nice! So I will take your corrected version,
switch
it to FM and see of what use it may be

Hi Ralph,
Good point! Thanks Little bug I just noticed is that the frequencies
stated on the FFT are out by about 10khz, fixes are underway!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi,
Why 6.25 KHz increments? This will not fit the 8.33 KHz air band spacing
very well
I will give it a try, guess it will be no problem to adapt the scheme to
other bands - thanks for publishing your work!
Ralph.

Hi All,
I’ve just uploaded version 2 of my Spectrum Sense n Play GNU Radio
Companion
application, compatible with the current master branch of GNU Radio (git
commit: dd387a3708196f382f0c1e8041077bf94038ae98).
It is currently setup to simultaneously monitor 4,000 6.25Khz channels
between 118MHz to 136MHz and picks the strongest one to tune in to. For
those of you who have an Ettus USRP2, N200 or N210 this should work out
of
the box with the WBX daughterboard. For use with other devices e.g.
USRP1/RTL-SDR dongle you need to swap out the UHD source block and alter
the
uhd_sample_rate variable.
Features in this version:
- Frequency block list → Paste in center frequencies to block,
seperated by
a space e.g. “118575000 121500000 134175000”. - Hold → Press to hold on frequency, press again to continue.
- Skip → Press to enable frequency skip mode, press again to continue.
Use
this when adding a new frequency to block. - Squelch → Adjust so that transmissions are heard without listening to
static. - AM Demodulation → currently configured to receive VHF airband
transmissions. - Config File → Uses a config file to save the squelch level and
blocked
frequencies.
Here are the files:

Please give it a test run and have a play with it. All feedback is
greatly
appreciated!
Cheers,
Mike
