pocsagtx_hackrf.grc not working

[mrDevGit]

Hi

It is probably user error but I have got it all set up, no errors but when i set the cap code and freq in gnuradio and hit play, it does not send the message. Or at least, it is not received.

output on terminal:

Generating: '/home/hero/Downloads/gr-mixalot-main/examples/pocsagtx_hackrf.py'

Executing: /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator -e /usr/bin/python3 -u /home/hero/Downloads/gr-mixalot-main/examples/pocsagtx_hackrf.py

Done

Oh, but when I run the python file on it's own I get this:

./pocsagtx_hackrf.py --help Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/hero/Downloads/gr-mixalot-main/examples/./pocsagtx_hackrf.py", line 24, in import gnuradio.mixalot as mixalot File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/gnuradio/mixalot/init.py", line 18, in from .mixalot_python import * ImportError: libgnuradio-mixalot.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

that was resolved by running ldconfig

now when I run it I get:

./pocsagtx_hackrf.py --message 'hello fro gnu' gr-osmosdr 0.2.0.0 (0.2.0) gnuradio 3.10.5.1 built-in sink types: uhd hackrf bladerf soapy redpitaya freesrp xtrx file Using HackRF One with firmware v1.9.1 UUUUUUUUUUUU

okay..... so it started working. Only from the command line, sporadically. Only 1 in 2 or 3 messages arrive at the pager. It is not local interference because the message from RPITX works every time to the same pager.

When it does work, I only get the first 2 characters of the message! now I am confused

So from the message above 'hello fro gnu' (that is supposed to be 'from'), only 'he' shows up on the pager.

Feels like its a weak signal?... Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong? I'm so close! ;)

Any suggestion from anyone that knows Gnuradio better than I do? I bet it is just one of the settings that needs changed...
