[Discuss-gnuradio] software radio reception delay

[Jiri Pittner]

Hi all,

I am a new user of USRP and I am a bit surprized about the "latency" of USRP
reception: I have tried usrp_nbfm_rcv.py and a hardware scanner at the same
frequency and I have observed, that the software radio is about 0.3-0.5
seconds delayed after the hardware radio. DO you know the reason for this
behavior, is it inherent to the software approach, or it can be avoided by
smarter coding? In some raio applications, such latencies are obviously not 
acceptable.

Best regards,
Jiri
