Hi all,
I hope you're doing well and having a good weekend.
I had a question I thought someone here might be able to answer; I'm attempting to get an AirSpy dongle to work properly with GNU Radio but am running into some issues. I attempted to install the right dependencies for the AirSpy (https://github.com/airspy/airspyone_host) and then installed the gr-osmosdr module (the gr-3.8 branch, as I still have GNURadio 3.8 installed), but when I put "airspy=0, bias=1, pack=0" in the "Device Arguments" field of my osmocom Source block and tried running my flowgraph, it gives me the following output:
Generating: '/home/ellie/src/gr-ata/examples/usrp_2chrx.py'

return _osmosdr_swig.source_make(*args, **kwargs)
RuntimeError: Wrong device arguments specified. Missing nchan?
I also tried adding "nchan=1" to the "Device Arguments" field but that didn't work either and resulted in the same error. I've attached my flowgraph for reference. (Note that I made sure my AirSpy dongle was plugged in before running it). Any ideas you might have on how to solve this would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Ellie
