Hi all,

I own one of these. The I/Q bandwidth is 48kHz. But for now I can't get it to work with the script. Should it be possible to use the same script as the FCD but with -r 48000 specified? Because then I get an error like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./src/demod/python/fcdp-tetra_demod.py", line 83, in <module>
    tb = my_top_block(options)
  File "./src/demod/python/fcdp-tetra_demod.py", line 36, in __init__
    channel_taps = gr.firdes.low_pass(1.0, sample_rate, options.low_pass, options.low_pass * 0.1, gr.firdes.WIN_HANN)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/gr/gnuradio_swig_py_general.py", line 2715, in low_pass
    return _gnuradio_swig_py_general.firdes_low_pass(*args, **kwargs)
IndexError: gr_firdes check failed: 0 < fa <= sampling_freq / 2

Am I doing something wrong?

Besides this the Alinco is a great scanner!

Cheers,

Pepijn
