Looks like a nice clean signal.

  You know, I wish you guys would quit screwing around with the 0.9
  code, and instead help us *all* move forward by investing some time
  in porting it to 2.x.  The framework is already set up, and the
  first 4 blocks have been ported and tested.  I'd really like some
  people to step up and finish it off.  It's in CVS under gr-atsc.
  We've also got *much* faster filtering algorithms in 2.x.  We might
  even be able to get it running in real time on a dual processor
  machine.  Today's machines are a lot faster than when we first wrote it.

Let me know if you've got any questions.
