Hello all, I have recently installed GNURadio new version of 3.7.5. I want to use “CtrlPort Monitor” but in GRC this is under “None” module instead of “Control Port” module!! I enabled the control port as explained: [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/ControlPort](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/ControlPort) But when I execute the attached GRC I got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File “/home/mostafa/Desktop/controlport test/top\_block.py”, line 14, in from gnuradio.ctrlport.monitor import \* ImportError: No module named ctrlport.monitor How could I use the \*“CtrlPort Monitor”? \*I also see this [http://gnuradio.squarespace.com/home/2012/11/18/public-release-of-controlport.html](http://gnuradio.squarespace.com/home/2012/11/18/public-release-of-controlport.html) page for configuring control port like this: _gr-ctrlport-monitor 192.168.1.1 12345_ But is says: " the command not found" Pleas help me to use control port monitor. Thanks in advance, Mostafa ---

> Pleas help me to use control port monitor. You can’t. See a mail from Tom R. a few weeks back : ctrl port has been temporarly removed from gnuradio due to some issues with its middleware. It’s being worked on. Cheers, ``` Sylvain ``` ---

Hello Tom, Is there a timeline for fixing the issue with control port and backing it to its normal operation? Best, On Sat, Sep 13, 2014 at 7:31 PM, Tom R.
