Hi Rensi: I’d suggest using the UHD utility programs that come with the B200. There is a spectrum analyzer application, called uhd_fft, and a simple radio receiver that can, for example, be used to test your unit with local broadcast stations in the FM band. You’ll need a small antenna for one of the SMA connectors. If you don’t have a proper antenna or connector, you could simply stick a short piece of wire into the SMA connector for testing.
For transmitting, an antenna is more critical as you shouldn’t really transmit into an unconnected or mismatched antenna. I’d suggest looking again at the utilities provided with either the B200 or gnuradio. You can build a simple transmitter and use an “FM band” broadcast radio to receive the transmissions from your USRP. I would also suggest going to the gnuradio.org <http://gnuradio.org/> web site and working through the tutorial series. This will help you get started!
