Noob problem / clueless somehow.

Hi, I have succesfully set up gr-iridium, I have both RTl V3 and Airspy R2 which receive iridium signals quite OK with helical (RHCP) and LNA4ALL.

After running the extractor for multiple hours with the grep "A:OK" there is totally no output in output.bits.

If I run the same for a few minutes without the grep command there is a lot in output.bits on which I can run the iridium-parser.py which generates readable output, which shows things like sat:069 and the frequency the transmission was received. The output.bits only contains strings in 11001001010101 format so none of these strings contain "A:OK"

I tried the Airspy on 1622, 1624, 1626 MHz centered but stil after hours no output.bits content with the grep command.

Am I missing something obvious ?

Some screen output without the grep active:

Thanks,

Ben
