So this morning when I started, I was pretty sure I had everything I needed to support the HackRFOne and went merrily off to follow the tutorials until I am become The Wizard.

Yeah, sure-sure.

Of course, thats not how any of this works.

The HackRFOne tuts were stale, and there's still a good deal of confusion here and there; the wide band fm reciever block, for instants, provides an interface for de-emphasis tau, but the code generated for the block has no idea wtf that is even about.

So I found some stuff that didn't depend so heavily on on such special-purpose blocks, and builds up a proper FM receiver based on as lot of other fundamental blocks and relevant block connection paradigms involving virtual sinks, fast fourier transforms and the typical like -- and I'm hopeful. I've yet to add some proper defaults to some bandpass filter taps.

I may sneak up on it, if I decide the whiskey wont interfere.

I'll keep ya posted.
