Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Companion USRP Transmitter Example

[Isaac Gerg]

Josh,
  I just rechecked out grc from the repository.  Your two tone example
did not work right out of the box as I had to set some of the Sink and
Source settings, mostly the A:0 B:0 stuff....  I found out what my
problem was.  My Tx antenna is hooked up to TxA, but in the subdev Spec
for the sink, I had it set set to SideB.  Its working great now!

Thanks for example, that really made it easy to debug all the parameters
quickly to find the problem.

Thanks!
Isaac
