USRP: PROBLEM with FM RECEPTION

[Jonas_Gacrama]

I have another problem regarding the USRP. I can’t seem to receive any
FM
signal. I have tried using the usrp_wfm_rcv.py but all I receive is
NOISE…

I used an SMA cable as my antenna receiver. Could this cause my problem?
Or
is the problem with the software? Or is it in the hardware? Thanks!

What daughterboard are you using?

A piece of coaxial cable will NOT work as an antenna. They are
designed to NOT leak RF. Try using a piece of wire about 75cm
long, or a regular “FM dipole” from the store.
