Re: communication of two b200 via ax.25

[Fabian Schwartau]

Hi Bryan,
just increase the cutoff of the LPF, not the deviation. I am just saying
that the bandwidth of a signal with 5 kHz deviation is probably more
like 10 kHz wide (single sided). But I am not sure about that. You can
use the "Qt GUI Frequency Sink" to take a look at the spectrum and see
what the bandwidth of the signal is. Just try a few different values and
see if it gets better.
You can also try to put both flow graphs into one and get rid of the
USRPs. Just to make sure that the flow graph alone works as expected
without this annoying thing called "reality" ;) Remember to add a
throttle block.

Best regards,
Fabian
