Tip

Solution: Check the PSR count when clean signal is being transmitted. If it is relatively low (i.e., ~0.3 or lower), adjust your antenna length, position or consider give the receiver side a boost. To do so, go to the RTL-SDR Source block, change the Gain method to "Manual", RF gain to 20dB. Run the transmission again, it should boost up to a relatively high PSR (~0.9) with clean signal.

You are suggested to record signals at a private place rather than in the lab, so that other teams who are transmitting at the same time will not affect your recording.
