Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Source block for the funcube pro plus

Hi Ian,

it's no problem for me to change the code to set the frequency in Hz 
instead of Khz because internally I set the frequency in Hz.
But what do you think about introducing an additional unit parameter ( 
1, 1000, 1000000 ). So it would be up to the users choice and if you 
choose 1 you had the same behavior as the FCD.
