Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] turn off DC offset

Thank you, Julian ... that's the issue here I bet!

Simona is running GR 3.7.14.4, which contains a bug in gr-uhd's GRC interface where the "set_auto_dc_offset" function is executed only if its argument is "True". We fixed it here < https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/commit/fc3eaf1414c192294281eef0a009359d1c913d99 > to take any argument provided -- though only "True" or "False" will work -- and this fix is part of the 3.7.14.5 release.

Simona - Can you update GR to the 3.7.14.5 release? Doing so and using "True" / "False" (without ""s) in the UHD GRC blocks will hopefully resolve your issue. - MLD
