Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Effect of samples_per_symbol on benchmark_qt_loopback2.py

[Ben Reynwar]

I was using that many so I could see how it all worked better (plots
with two samples per symbol are a little less intuitive to look at).
I realize it's not of practical importance but I thought it was
interesting.

Cheers,
Ben
