[Discuss-gnuradio] dbid from usrp2

[Dimitris Symeonidis]

Hi list,

I've come across a strange bug: while the usrp correctly returns
dbid() == -1 when no dboard is connected to the side you chose, the
usrp2 returns dbid() == 1 (which is the id of BasicRX) when no dboard
is connected. I've checked that it correctly reports the dbid when
other types of daughterboards are connected.

I suspect that the reason is line 1082 in usrp2/host/lib/usrp2_impl.cc:
dst->dbid = ntohl(src->dbid);
which returns an unsigned long in the host byte order...

As a side note, another strange thing I noticed is that the frequency
range returned is always different (smaller) than the one in the spec
sheet. Why is that?

Thank you in advance
