[Discuss-gnuradio] Re: dbid from usrp2

[Dimitris Symeonidis]

Regarding the second question, I just found out that the freq_min and
freq_max values are hard-coded in the usrp/host/lib/legacy/db_xyz.cc
files, with wrong values, of course (the BasicRX reports a +-90 GHz
frequency range)... What's up with that?
