DVD-T? Really? What kind of receiver just a usb ATSC tuner etc? Scary to
what to think I could do with DVB-S2 and Gnuradio lol
Ok great

Back to the decoder – ff that fills in some blanks.

I put a slicer ahead of the decoder - now I get segv inside the decoder -
inside  the general_work method:

(running python under gdb...)

The code in question looks like:

int
op25_decoder_bf::general_work(int nof_output_items, gr_vector_int&
nof_input_ite
ms, gr_vector_const_void_star& input_items, gr_vector_void_star&
output_items)
{
...

float *out = reinterpret_cast<float*>(output_items[0]);

I'm not totally familiar with blocks in GNURadio - seems like output_items
isn't initialized...

Hi,

I've just got a funcube myself and just this morning support for it made it
into the GNURadio trunk. That should make using them lots easier. I am
looking forward to seeing the DVB-T support get done because that will make
using SDR much cheaper (23USD delivered!).

The question you ask concerns the interface to the decoder... the _ff
version has float inputs and outputs and the other takes bytes (actually
two-bit symbols) inputs and float outputs. The latter needs a slicer before
it but that is conceptually the right thing to do and so the _ff version is
deprecated. Hope that helps.

Hi

Whats the difference between these 2?

I'm new to Gnuradio & python to be honest; I'm writing my own ap25 listener
for the funcube...

So far, I've got my software tuning, FM decoding, and then sending data into
the FSK4 decoder; I can see it fine tuning.. but I don't get anything out of
the decoder_bf function.

Is there any easy way, to debug what its doing??

Digging around in code there doesn't seem to be much debugging.

I did create some network sinks, and forward the output of the FM demod to a
a scope inside gnuradio companion.. the signal looks like FSK4 with the
funky phase changes.
