One thing that struck me: I don't think you should have to disable the streamer to switch between cal and radio channels. Just for experiment's sake, try leaving both channels active in the streamer.

Thanks. After setting spp=600 and omit the DMA FIFO, it doesn't raise the errors anymore and I can run the flowgraph without having to power cycle.

Hi Nick, I can try this, but the reason I disable one or the other streamer is so that I can sample at the full 50MHz. Running both streamers cuts the sample rate in half and I am only using the cal channel to measure/correct the random LO phase offset. In this switching mode, the data always
