I'd start by running usrp_benchmark_usb.py It's a USB speed test script, and it will verify proper communication with the USRP. The script is located in /usr/local/share/gnuradio/examples/usrp/ on my Linux installation.

Do you have a DBSRX daughter card to receive GPS frequencies? If that's physically installed and the test script mentioned above runs, we can move on.

Hi Paul,
Finally I got a working system of USRP radio. The FM radio example runs smoothly (atleast opens up and captures nothing:giving errors like "usb_control_msg failed: usb_control_msg failed: sending control message failed, win error, A device attached to the system is not functioning <--- Is this ok? I am using cygwin, gnu-3.1.1 and python 2.5)!? Now, I would like to record IF samples and use Kai Borre Matlab based GPS receiver to solve for position. Should we proceed with sample recording. Can you guide me for this?

        Faisal,

        I'm at Purdue University working toward using the USRP for
        GNSS applications.  Check my understanding: are you wanting to
        use the USRP to record, say, L1 band samples directly to a
        data file?  Would you be performing all of the signal
        acquisition and tracking in post-processing with a separate
        software tool?

        I'm working on Linux (Debian), but we aught to be able to
        trade notes.  If you've got a working installation of GNU
        Radio, I can show you how to record samples.

            Hi,
            I am a newbie to USRP, and still struggling to get it
            working on my windows machine. I am trying to use cygwin.
            I reckon that many ppl have already acquired and tracked
            GPS on USRP. Waht I want to do is to capture GPS IF
            samples (e.g. at IF=5 MHz) and use a software receiver to
            process those IF samples on PC. Any suggestions to start?!...
