Is it possible that this is due to a phase/frequency- drift between the
two units? I think benchmark_rx implements a PLL (Costas- loop) for
frequency/phase- offsets, and might (don't remember) as well implement a
form of early- late- gate loop (Optimized Müller & Müller algorithm) for
time- synchronizing the samples.
I don't know if the phenomena you see is due to this, but it might...
