Ok thanks. In my haste I was mistaken in assuming that the LO gain would track 
with the RF output gain. Silly mistake. I’m still getting used to separating 
out the LO. 

I can put this on a SpectrumAnalyzer (with an attenuator in line) on Monday.

I’m trying to take channel to channel phase measurements to determine what 
level of phase control I can have over one channel.

It’s not critical that I use GNURadio but it seemed like the logical option as 
it’s very easy to make those adjustments.

I will look at the python API and see if the commands Rob was talking about can 
be invoked using Python  instead of writing a C++ application.
Then I’ll see if that is included in gr-uhd. If not, I can submit a pull 
request with any changes.

I’ll ping the gnuradio chat later tonight.


Thanks for the help guys are in
