Hi Eugene, I don't know why the basic Rx has a lower frequency listed. It seems inconsistent with other notes such as the following found here <https://kb.ettus.com/Selecting_a_RF_Daughterboard>
Some USRP radio users elect to use an external front end providing upconversion, downconversion, amplification and filtering functionality. In these cases, the frontend often outputs an intermediate frequency (IF). It is also possible for the frontend to provide an analog, quadrature interface. In either case the BasicRX/BasicTX and LFRX/LFTX daughterboards are good candidates, as they provide a unity gain interface to the ADC(s) and DAC(s) of the USRP hardware. I have not tried so I can't confirm if it will work. I can only say that it was my understanding that the Basic Rx could be used for your specific application.
