Marcus, I have tried frequencies ranging from 75-450 MHz. My scope is good to 500 MHz. I have tried gain settings betweeb 30 and 60. I am using RG-174, which is good to 1000 MHz.
In my custom code I generate tones by sending repeating samples with a value of 0.8. In the past this caused tones to appear at B200's center frequency. This should work regardless of the clock rate or sample rate, but in this case I'm using a 48 MHz master clock rate and a sample rate of 8 MHz. I also followed a gnuradio companion tutorial to generate a tone and it produced something ugly too. The only thing in my setup that changed is the host laptop. I switched to a new laptop and had to build UHD from scratch. However, gnuradio companion appears to use a different UHD version, so I'm skeptical that is the problem. Thanks for your help.
