Did you call u.tune(..., 910e6, ...) to set the frequency?

If so, it adjusts the LO and DDC together such that the signal that
you want (910e6) ends up at DC in the baseband.  

If you are looking at the usrp_fft.py display, it displays the LO
frequency in the status area, but the actual frequency that
corresponds to baseband (post DDC) will be the frequency that you asked for.

Do not mess with the LO offset until you understand in detail what's
going on;  and even then, think twice about it ;-)
