[Fwd: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2 - 25MS/s]

[Douglas Geiger]

Looks like I failed to copy the list.  To expand a little more on this -
setting decimation rates less than 8 with the current code on my machine
 results in a screen-full of 'S's, and I still see them occasionally
with decim = 8.  Right now I'm experimenting with usrp2_rx_file.py to
record the 25MS/s to a dumpfile, and then try processing them offline.

Makes sense - I knew that was a lot of data. It does look like I'm using
70% of cpu with decim = 8. I'll try decimation rates in-between - I
think the main thing that would need changing in that case is the
samples per bit.
