The Analog Devices AD9361 RF integrated transceiver in the B205mini has a divide-by-2 PLL inside when using an external reference input, so there will always be a 180 degree phase ambiguity. See this post from my former colleague (also named Robin) at ADI: https://ez.analog.com/thread/73543 -Robi

Dear all, I’m having a problem synchronizing two USRP-B205 mini. The setup is as follows: I use one USRP as a transmitter, the other as a receiver, and they are connected by cable. The “ref” input of both USRPs is connected to a 10MHz output (also tried with PPS output) of an Octoclock. I
