Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OOT Modules: PDU Utilities and Timing Utilities

[CEL]

Hi Jacob,

sorry, I wasn't around to react to this:
Wow! Thank you for sharing this. 

Would this be functionality that you'd like to see upstreamed into
mainline GNU Radio? That might ease future usage for you, as then "GNU
Radio" as a whole project would notice if something we do breaks the
unit tests, and fix that.

Best regards,
Marcus
