Marcus, Ok that makes sense, I thought it might be something to do with the mixers and leakage, but I wasn't sure. So I have tried lowering the gain to 0 dB, and there is no change in the signal. The signal does cause problems as I am working on a GPS related application, so even though -100 dB

Hello Marcus, I apologize for the delay in response, but I was able to solve the problem I was having with sending a signal at frequencies above 1.3 GHz. Turns out, in one of the two USRP's I am using for my project, I managed to get the cables for TX/RX and the RX2 flipped around when I set ev
