Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Weird Behavior of BPSK on RFX 2400

[Thomas Tsou]

In the clock recovery, the useful term in the output of the M&M error
detector becomes small for long sequences of identical symbols. This
affects the sampling instant, and I suspect is related to what you are
seeing. You can modify the gain_mu value to get these and similar
effects.
