Thanks for the suggestion, Jeff. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to help. I
still see bursty packet transmission.

Btw, currently I have: USRP source --> Low-Pass Filter -->
ComplexToInterleavedShort --> Endian Swap --> UDP Sink. I added the
set_max_noutput_items line at the output of the Endian Swap block since
that would be the input to UDP. Is that the only place where I would have
to make that change, or on all the blocks?

Thanks!
