Hello, I am having a similar problem as mentioned by Moeller in his message. I have made the required modifications to be USRP2 + DBSRX. All I see is a noise floor when I try usrp2_fft.py. I am inputting 2.165 GHz signal through RF In. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Do I need external

We're new to gnuradio and have a shiny USRP2 with a DBSRX daughterboard. More details are below. The system is kind of working, but usrp2_fft.py reports Failed (or Invalid if there's a typo) for every frequency we enter regardless of whether it's in the supported range or not. Oddly, the entere
