Hi John and Hans,

I agree with all said and also share the frustration. Gnuradio is a huge framework. It is a like a lego and the only way to make sense of things is to understand how to use the blocks -- and this may require understanding the guts of some of the blocks. Unfortunately gnuradio's documentation is no so good from the point of view of an user. It expects the user to be familiar with SDR and DSP. Many of the blocks have controls that can only be understood after reading about their functions in a DSP book -- and that on itself is not an easy endeavor.

Daniel´s gr-satellites is a remarkable piece of work and talent. I agree with Daniel that his time is better used to develop and polish the modules. I think what if could have more people using gr-satellites, we as users could develop some howtos. Perhaps a discussion group dedicated to gr-satellites could help. What do you think?

I completely agree with Hans’ point, but to put it more succinctly:

Don’t give me a fish, teach me how to fish.

It would be excellent to have a series of YouTube videos ( or a series of Journal articles)to follow to learn the ins-and-outs of gr-satellites.
