We have tried a few steps on building a small block as per the link above http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/BlocksCodingGuide * * It would be very helpful if any familiarized person could guide us forth on this aspect. Once we are into it I am sure there would be wonders. The power of SDR is still doubted by a lot many of the enthusiasts which I believe can be unleashed only by an exclusive indulgence into the development.
