Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP 8 bit USB transfers

You're right - with less bits, setting the gain correctly is much more important..

That fixed it. Thanks so much!

This is working here both with the USRP1 and USRP2 and current git repository.

The 8-bit mode has lower dynamic range, and if your gain is set too
low or you are looking at just noise, the signal level may well fall
below the LSB amplitude.
