So you are measuring the transmit LO leaking into receive? Which means
uhd_fft.grc is both transmitting and receiving?

The cal utilities are for suppressing IQ imbalance on RX and TX and DC
level on transmit. I dont know exactly what uhd_fft.grc is, but I dont
think you are measuring IQ suppression or TX DC level.
