Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Why cant I increase signal by 1 hz at a time with high frequencies?

Using a signal source to produce a synthetic signal at 1.7GHz is simply
not going to work, unless your sample-rate is 3.4GHz, which seems
rather unlikely.

Normally in Gnu Radio, signals are represented in complex-baseband,
leaving the hardware to move this up/down to the desired "on air"
frequency.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, perhaps you could share a
high-level overview?
