Like the audio blocks, the UHD blocks normalize float data for 1.0 to be full scale. So, you want to stay way below 1.0, in all cases. Going above will cause clipping. To further increase the signal amplitude, increase the Tx gain. Max Tx gain can, in some cases, cause distortions but that depends on signal shape etc. You would be able to see this on a spectrum analyzer (clipping in particular very obviously distorts the spectrum).
