Hi,

A few days ago I tested the latest “next” branch, now it builds on a 32  
bit  
Kubuntu 12.04 without any problems - but it seems to me that still the  
good  
old analog stuff is not completely supported, or am I wrong? Just needed  
a  
dual tone in NFM, so I put together two signal source blocks, an add  
block,  
NFM TX and the USRP, and I still get an error message like (not  
literally,  
just from my memory) “no channel model available”. Am I doing smth.  
wrong?  
The very same GRC file loaded into “master” branch just does what it  
should.

Is anybody from the list visiting SIGINT 2013 in Cologne / Kln?

Ralph.

There was a recent bug on the next branch related to gr-uhd, could you  
please retry with the very latest?

OK, I will give it another try, but I wonder if it may have to do with  
grextras not being compatible with the new API? There are two NFM TX  
blocks  
available in my installation, both do not work under next, but with  
different errors.

After the next try I will give exact copies of the messages…

Ralph.

Ah, I was unaware that you were using grextras. That does not work with  
the next branch, and in fact is not a part of GNU Radio but a set of  
extensions developed and supported by Ettus R..
