Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] CPFSK grc block question ... problem with data types

[Nick Foster]

The CPFSK block expects digitally encoded data as bits. The file sink
will give you raw demodulated samples. You need to determine what format
your handheld radio expects to see before you can re-encode your saved
data appropriately. FSK describes a digital modulation scheme but says
nothing about the packet or stream format the radio expects.
