I wouldn't use a ccf.  I'd either use an fff on each the real and
imaginary portions of the signal, or I'd use a ccc on the combined
signal, but that's just my own personal opinion.

Look at the spectrum coming out of your rational resampling filter and
make sure there are no spurs or images outside the intended band.
That's probably the easiest thing to do, though I don't think there is
a need.  The source for the filter is located here:

    
http://gnuradio.org/trac/browser/gnuradio/trunk/gnuradio-core/src/lib/filter/gr_rational_resampler_base_XXX.cc.t

There is a little bit of python taking place to actually generate the
code for all the filter types, but you can get the general idea of how
it works.

On a side note, do you have a GSM modulator that you are thinking of
contributing to the project?  Or is this strictly for personal
purposes?
