Hi All,
My name is Patrik Tast from Vasa, Finland.
I this week received the Ettus USRP with daughterboards
BasicRX and 800-2400 MHz RX from CA, US.
I fired it up today to test the BasicRX side using the
usrp_wfm_*.py and nbfm and everything works as expected. I am able to
hear what ever FM channels with great quality.
Since I am a wxapt guy, http://www.poes-weather.com/, the
usrp_wxapt_rcv.py was my next test in the examples
directory.
NOAA 17 @ 137.62 MHz was here just (usrp_wxapt_rcv.py
-f 137.62e6 -V 0) and all I could hear was German radio comming through.
Extremly faintly, I could hear the TICK-TOCK sound in
the background (I also could have been imagining, it was so unclear) and (just)
some change in the graph while the satellite was over me (45
degrees).
When I changed to the R2FX-receiver (dedicated
APT-receiver) the signal is there http://www.df2fq.de/english_version/r2fx_eng.html
I could not find an author to the usrp_wxapt_rcv.py nor
could I find a GRC block diagram for it.
I can see that the author is aiming for 32 kHz bandwith
but I suspect there is something missing?
APT spec is at http://www2.ncdc.noaa.gov/docs/klm/html/c4/sec4-2.htm
I'm using Fedora 9 and GnuRadio 3.1.3 (latest stable
release, not from svn)
Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Patrik
