Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Attempting DBPSK again

[Francesco B.]

Scratch that... I just realized that with clever placement of the read()
function I could read file contents as the payload string. Also found
mod_pkts() and can modify that to accommodate any new modulation schemes or
remove it entirely.

Just one question remains though, to put it to good use. Where do the actual
packet contents go when benchmark_rx is unmodified? I'm getting
acknowledgment that packets are received, but they aren't stored in a file.

I'm currently trying to work a file sink into receiver_path.py. Is that the
proper course of action?
