Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] 8MHz Tx Bandwidth.. Nightmare and Fear

[Eng. Firas]

Hi Vincenzo,


1) What is your recording system (PC specifications)?.
2) How fast your hard drive can read/write data? because working with 8MHz
means that your hard drive must be able to sustain writing 32MByte/sec?
3) Do you use ext2 or ext3 ? Ext2 is very efficient in writing. 
4) Are you recording complex or interleaved Short 8 MHz samples?
