Hi Jim - Just for completion: Try loading the "HG" image -- again if necessary: 1 Gb on SFP+ port 0 and 10 Gb on SFP+ port 1. Regardless of whatever Linux / ifconfig / ethtool shows, the SFP+-based networking will not work if the link speeds are not met on both ends. All USRPs will set the correct

Hi Jim - Yes you are correct in the E320 FPGA image options: 1G, XG, and AA. I booted up my E320 to verify; forgot that there is just a single SFP+ port on the E320 ... I've been working with X310's and N310's for a while now, both of which have 2 SFP+ ports! Since I'm on my E320, I tried out the

Thanks for reporting back, Jim! I'm glad redoing the 1G networking resolved the issue & got you to the expected max sample rate for the E320 in network mode. Since I almost never use the 1G SFP+ mode, I'm not worried about my 1G networking & will just stick with the 10G SFP+ mode which works nicely
