Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Works with GR 3.6, breaks with 3.7

Thanks Andy! Good catch - I made the changes you suggested. I was just doing a 
simple back of the envelope calculation to come up with channel size. It does 
look like cleans things up and adding the waterfall graphs does make it easier 
to see. Unfortunately, it does seem to change the decoding. I am still getting 
the same amount of CRC errors.

Did the overall signal look right, like something that should be decodable? 

Anything else I should try?
