Thanks for the reply, Jason. The uhd_usrp_probe --version command gave the
following result:

linux; GNU C++ version 4.4.5; Boost_104200; UHD_003.004.000-71810ad

003.004.000-71810ad

Do I have to download the latest UHD image? The image that I am using right
now was downloaded by one of my colleagues and I think that he did it
recently.

Also, I tried running the benchmark_tx and benchmark_rx codes with a 1 MHz
frequency offset input, i.e., I gave the following commands:

./benchmark_tx.py -f 2.4G -r 1M -m gmsk -a "addr = 192.168.10.2"

./benchmark_tx.py -f 2.401G -r 1M -m gmsk -a "addr = 192.168.10.2"

Since the uhd_fft.py and the my lab spectrum analyzer show a 1 MHz
frequency offset, I assumed that the above commands would work.
Unfortunately, this did not help either!

Suggestions will be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Nazmul
