Although the method should work to detect the RACH burst on L-band, it
has only ever been tested on C-band wideband captures, so YMMV.
Note that the example .grc graph that's provided does an IQ swap
because usually when you get samples from a C-band LNB they underwent
a spectrum inversion due to the high-side LO mixing inside the LNB. If
you're working off a direct capture off L-band you need to remove that
swap from the graph.
Also, are you sure you actually _have_ RACH requests in your file and
they don't saturate your receiver ?
If you have an example capture to post, put it online somewhere and
post the link.

This was captured on C-band.
Cheers,
