Hi Jeff, which version of GNU Radio are you using? Judging by the looks of your flow graph it's the (now legacy) 3.7, but *if* I remember correctly (it's really been a while), the SOB/EOB functionality appeared *somewhen* in 3.7.x; it might be worth trying your exact same application in GNU Radio 3.8 (or 3.9).
Conceptually, it's important to note that after tx_sob you need to supply the full burst of samples: I think you're doing that, but then again, you say you get three data bursts 100 ms apart, so I'm not sure about that, to be honest. The USRP sink can't guess that you want three bursts of samples to be sent as one; it starts streaming as fast as you supply it data after the SOB, and will tell you you're late or too slow at supplying data (tG/U printed to your console) if you don't give it 10 million samples a second, until it gets an SOB.
