Hi,

just to clarify some points here:

During transmission, there is always enough isolation to prevent damage.
Just use an antenna on the TX/RX port. Do not connect an antenna to the 
RX2 port. In this case it is always safe to operate a USRP?

In case I use GNU Radio and I just use the stream source and sink. (aka 
'UHD: USRP Sink' for transmission and 'UHD: USRP Source' for reception)
I want continuous reception but only burst transmission. Both source and 
sink are configured to use the TX/RX port. I send bursts to the 'UHD: 
USRP Sink' with a packet length which is translated to SOB and EOB tags 
for the USRP.
- Does the USRP do the switching at the start and end of burst 
automatically? Or does it switch to reception on RX2 permanently?
- Or do I need to use another sink?
- Where do I find the logic that takes care of switching? On the host or 
on the device?
I know I've asked similar questions before. I just want to clarify these 
questions again. Thanks!

Cheers
Johannes
