Yes, there are limits. When you do an uhd_usrp_probe the RX and TX gain ranges will be displayed. Notice that the same gain setting doesn't mean the same power output at all frequencies – all gains are relative to 0dB gain, in the respective linear gain regions, which again, for all devices and al

> SNR is signal strength/noise Yeah, obviously, but what does that mean? how can you *describe* signal strength with a mathematical formula based on the digital samples you have in GNU Radio? The point is that you'll just need an estimator for the signal energy, and an estimator for the noise powe
