Guys, Thanks for your help. I think my best path forward is to modify the usrp_nbfm_ptt.py code and use set_enable. My intended application requires the reuse of the same antenna for TX and RX. My data is not packetized (it is simply tones to begin with), so it seems the easiest path forward. My end goal is to transmit and receive between 2 RFX daughterboards using only the RX/TX ports in a time-multiplexed fashion (see post "TX/RX Coordination"). Step one will be to perform the switching based on space-bar depression, but eventually I'd like to incorporate a system timer for this functionality. Thanks again, Rob
