This exception is thrown if I receive a packet containing certain characters, but I am allowed to receive from 0x00 to 0xFF

Hello @EdikGres, I never tried using gnuradio on MacOS, but it seems that _buffer_decode is using utf-8 instead of latin-1. Can you execute the scripts if you execute them directly in a terminal. (e.g python tx_rx_functionnality_check.py in the folder examples)

everything was solved, I just rewrote the code a bit =)
