Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Demodulating a MPT1327 signal

[madengr]

OK got your file, and it is working fine here on a N210+WBX, and a B200, when
fed with a signal generator.

1)  You must be using GR 3.6 or earlier as some blocks don't import into
3.7.5.  I replaced the rational resampler and  nbfm_rx with your same
settings.

2)  I assume you are using an USRP2 or N2x0 since you are using an IP
address.  The gain should be 31 maximum for the WBX.  I measure the minimum
detectable signal at this gain is about -90 dBm, for 1 kHz tone on NBFM with
5 KHz deviation.

3)  I also added a resampler to 48k, 10x gain, and an audio sink.  I did
verify the wav file is being written.

Are you sure you are on frequency and signal is strong enough?  Any tune
warning from UHD?  Can you tune a strong signal like 162.55 MHz NOAA, or
equivalent in your area?  At least you are getting noise.
