Method 2 goes well loading the new IP address: 192.168.10.3. But when I  
checked with uhd\_find\_devices, it shows that the IP address has not  
changed. It’s still 192.168.10.2.

Hi Matt,

sorry, since P25 is not really available somewhere in Europe,  
I can’t help you with samples _but_: The folks over  
at [http://op25.osmocom.org/wiki](http://op25.osmocom.org/wiki) used to link to samples  
(But that link’s gone now), best ask them 🙂

Happy receiving, decoding and p25ing,

The time format of the tag is just a tuple of full and fractional  
seconds,

But if you are taking about that time\_now, that was just to get an idea  
of what time the device was on. You can read this value, or set it to a  
known starting point like UTC. In any case, see the  
uhd/types/time\_spec.hpp, you can readily convert between that and  
seconds if need be.

Yes, tags can be created in python, I hope this is documented in the  
blocks coding guide

Hope that helps!

Hi Manjusha,

what you most propably want to do is something of the like

# ncat -l -u 12346

to see what your deframer spits out.

To see what your transmitter is going to transmit, you should  
use whatever software generates the data and sends it to port 12345.  
Presuming you’re using the ubiquitous bash, you can use something like

# ncat -u 12345 \< mylovelettertognuradio.txt

Three Notes anyway:

1. That data will be binary. If you don’t input bytes that map to  
“readable” characters, you won’t see much meaningfulness on your  
terminal.
2. Transmitting and receiving simultaneously on the same daughterboard  
is tough, to be honest. The crosstalk is most propably stronger than  
your reception. Be warned.
3. Is UDP really the protocol of your choice in both cases?

Happy Hacking!

Marcus M?ller

Hi Josh,

Would you happen to suggest any more setting changes I could try before  
just deciding I need to depend on the older libusrp/gnuradio for  
recording 4 channels to disk from a USRP?  
Thanks, - Tom

Make it 10s of megabytes, see if it helps.

I think that part of the API is deprecated (the argument to run). There  
is a similar call on top block, but Im recommending just the usrp source  
block.

Go with the default while trying the above.

You have your input on repeat, so it’ll keep transmitting as long as the  
program is running. Are you looking for the rate, or the total bit  
count?

Yes,you are right…I attached the wrong screen shot…My vector source  
doesn’t  
repeat and  
I would like to know both Bit rate and Number of bits transmitted.

thanks.

I’ve gotten the impression you’re looking for a bit count after some  
amount of time has passed, similar to ifconfig’s “TX packets:”.

Mangusha, from other posts I’m thinking maybe you’re trying to connect  
a socket to a modulator and transmitter and you want to know how many  
bits have been transmitted. I’m certainly not going to be a definite  
source on this, but I don’t think you can do this in grc without  
writing any code.

Each of these blocks does have a variable (probably called something  
similar to noutput\_items) that you can use to accumulate a total and  
add an output. If it’s really critical to your application I don’t  
think it’s very difficult to edit one of these blocks to do it for  
you. Or even better, just make your own block that does nothing but  
count the number of items that goes through it.

If I’m over complicating things and you’re just trying to understand  
your flowgraph…  
I think your number of bits transmitted is 2.  
Your bit rate is, uh I think something like samples/symbol / samp\_rate.

I am trying to find the Bit error rate for a vector signal.I get a error  
rate of 0.528(i am assuming it to be 52%) when i don’t transmit and an  
error rate of 0.625000 when i transmit.

Am i right on this??i dont understand the logic behind it…

Also,is 52% not too high??!!!

thank you

Hi list,  
Anyone know rfx board i q phase imbalance value and amplititude  
imbalance value,  
I do not have equiment to measure these value.

It doesn’t look like you’re doing any carrier recovery?

Before putting USRP blocks in there, maybe you should try a straight  
simulation that adds noise and some frequency offset artificially. Get  
that working, and then connect up the USRP source/sink?

Around 50% BER is what you would expect from a random signal. 100% BER  
is  
very good since you just need to flip all the bits and you get the right  
answer! That is also given the input signal statistics are sufficiently  
whitened/random.

You might want to take a step away from putting blocks in GRC and just  
take  
a look at some of the resources on the GNU Radio wiki about suggested  
reading:

[http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/SuggestedReading](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/SuggestedReading)

Sanity is hard to come by if you’re dealing with magic.

Good Luck!

Just tagging on here… The way you have it set up is compare the  
incoming bit to 1, next compare the incoming bit to 0. And it will  
alternately compare incoming bits between 1 and 0. This BER block will  
probably not be useful if you don’t have access (within this  
flowgraph) to the source generating data.

If you haven’t looked at examples yet you should do that too. They are  
probably located in /usr/local/share/gnuradio/examples/

There’s a BER example at  
/usr/local/share/gnuradio/examples/digital/demod/ber\_simulation.grc

One idea would be to have a file sink also attached to the GMSK Mod  
block. All samples you send to your USRP would be copied in the file.  
Just check the file for byte count.

The imbalance will vary board to board, which is why we provide the  
ability  
to calibrate the IQ balance. Running the calibration utility will get  
you  
the best performance.

We are working on IEEE 802.11 module on GNU Radio using wireshark  
software. This was a readymade module which has been downloaded from  
gnuradio official website (Link:  
[GitHub - bastibl/gr-ieee802-11: IEEE 802.11 a/g/p Transceiver](https://github.com/bastibl/gr-ieee802-11)) .The Receiver WiFi block is  
running well. The received data (ASCII code) is shown on the Gnuradio  
companion but when the data is stored in .pcap files through wireshark  
connector it shows “malformed packet”. How can I resolve this issue?  
Please help.
