I use a IAA.01.121111 Iridium Certified Antenna connected to a LNA and USRP X310 to receive the iridium Signal via gr-iridium.

When I run the gr-iridium, the terminal ouput shows like this:

And I can get the ouput.bits file, then I use iridium_parser.py to parse this file: "pypy3 iridium-parser.py ./output.bits > output.parsed", however, the parse is totally failed! The oupur.parsed like this:

According to , I try "--uw-ec" and "--errorfree" command, but still can not work. Could you please tell me what is the problem in my whole precess? Any advice? Really thanks.

Your i/s numbers are often in the hundreds, which means gr-iridium detects some energy, but your ok numbers are very low (they should be at least 30% if not higher), which means that most of these are not valid iridium packets.

Furthermore, the ones that you tried to parse are all untypically short - I would expect a lot more longer packets.

From that I conclude that your reception is pretty bad.

It suspect like you have a lot of interference. I suggest looking at the spectrum at 1.626GHz in gr-fosphor or a similar waterfall to verify the spectrum is clean.

In general I would suggest to move both the USRP and the antenna as far away as cables permit from the rest of your equipment (i.e. laptop and power supply) and use a good shielded USB cable to connect the USRP to the laptop.
