When I add a FFT block in the GRC (gr_fft_vxx if I understand things
correctly) I am offered a boolean parameter 'shift'. When I attempt
to discern the code, there is a comment:

   // apply a fft shift on the data  - for the fwd FFT and
   // apply an ifft shift on the data  - for reverse.

What does this parameter do?

It applies an FFT shift on the data for the forward FFT and an IFFT
shift on the data for reverse FFT.

Did that help?

If not, a quick Google search for 'fft shift' explains that this moves
the DC carrier to the centre of the spectrum (instead of the far left).

Thanks Martin,
                      Yes it does help. I had seen some 'funky stuff' in Marcus' Simple_RA and wondered why. Now  I think I know.
