Hi Matt
I have tried usrp2_fft.py -f 2.4G and also usrp2_fft.py -f 5.7G as you
suggest below. In both cases, the fft window opens but no trace is
displayed, and I see the following output in the terminal:
usrp2: channel 0 not receiving
usrp2::rx_sample() failed
I only recently received my USRP2s and XCVR2450s, which were shipped at
the end of December. Are there any known issues with the firmware on the
SD cards at this time, or do you have any other idea why I can't seem to
tune frequencies on these cards?
Thanks
Ian.

The -f argument to usrp2_fft.py is the frequency. By putting "-f 1000"
you are telling the system to try to tune the xcvr2450 to 1 kHz. The
specified range is 2.4-2.5 GHz and 4.9 to 5.9 GHz. 1 kHz is WAY outside
of that range. I would suggest you try something like:
usrp2_fft.py -f 5.7G

Actually no...its always returning false...
when I use usrp2_fft.py with -f 1000 then output does come but still
it
is unable to set the initial frequency though it did receive.
I am still trying to figure out the problem...

Hi All
I have been trying to set the Tx and Rx frequencies when using an
XCVR2450 with a USRP2, but it seems these keep failing. A snippet
of my
source code is below for setting the Tx frequency.
The output of this portion of code is "Failed to tune Tx", and the
frequencies are all 0, with spectrum_inverted being false.
I have also tried to use usrp2_fft.py, and this fails saying
nothing is
received on channel 0.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks
Ian.
/* try tuning Tx to a test frequency */
double Fc = 2400000000.0;
usrp2::tune_result TxTuneResult;
bool successTx = device->set_tx_center_freq(Fc,
&TxTuneResult);
if(successTx) {
cout<< "Tx Tune Successful:\n";
cout<< " Baseband Frequency: "<<
TxTuneResult.baseband_freq<< "\n";
cout<< " DxC Frequency: "<<

Have you been able to get any of the pre-written scripts (e.g.
usrp2_fft.py or usrp_siggen.py) working? I can't even get those to
work.
I tried usrp_siggen.py in verbose this morning and noticed again
it was
unable to set the Tx frequency. Also, I think the error I had
mentioned
above re usrp2_fft.py would be because the rx frequency couldn't
be set.
I have tried two of the daughtercards on one USRP2, and one of
those two
cards on the other USRP2, and still can't get it to set, though it
worked fine using the same code for the BasicTx and BasicRx.
