[Discuss-gnuradio] N210 8-bit mode and WBX bandwidth

2010-12-03 Thread Blair Strang
Hi all, Two related questions: 1) In the datasheet for the N210, the specifications state 50Mhz instantaneous bandwidth in 8-bit mode.  I was looking at otw_type.width in the UHD and I can't see an 8 bit mode there.  Is 8-bit mode implemented in the fpga/firmware/driver for N210?  If not, roughly

Hi, I just received my USRP today (thanks Ettus!) and am in a similar position, wanting to smoke test by FM demod. I probably have more or less the same antenna as you. I cut in half a 1M SMA pigtail I had lying around and soldered 2M of wire out of an Ethernet cable to the centre conductor. It
