Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Noob question 1

Hi Henk,

the problem is that the RTL dongle (and any SDR peripheral) just gives
you the signal as it is in the air -- you will still have to demodulate
it to get audio!
Now, wild assumption: you want to listen to FM Radio for a start.
So:
* configure your audio sink to 44100 Hz sample rate
* use a WBFM receiver block with a quadrature rate of N*44100, and N as
decimation, feed the output (orange!) into the audio sink
* add a fractional resampler between source and WBFM receiver to match
N*44100 to a sampling rate the Dongle supports


Best regards,
Marcus
