Testing the transmitter in Gnuradio.

Link to block source https://github.com/antonjan/lime_mini/blob/master/gnuradio/Lime_transmitter_test_zr6aic.grc Here is a Gnuradio block that will modulate the Lime mini sdr with Fm from Microphone and 1 Khz zone.
In the gnuradio radio directory is a working Transmitter testing code.

Gnuradio FM modulator TX block from Mic and oscillator.

Here is the settings for the Lime mini. (you need to install the soapySDR drivers.

Settings for soapy driver for lime

Screenshot of Application
Changing the PTT value to 1 enables modulation.
Changing the enable tone to value 1 will switch the modulation from internal Microphone of laptop to the 1Khz tone generator.
The Modulation can be seen in the FFT Plot box.
