Hi,

Do you get the same result if you run the included (compiled/default)
version of rx_samples_to_file at a lower sample rate, such as:

/usr/local/lib/uhd/examples/rx_samples_to_file --args "addr=192.168.60.2"
--duration 10 --rate 1e6 --freq 100e6 --gain 10 --subdev "A:0" --file
test.sc16

What version of UHD are you using?

Regards,
Nate Temple
