[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2 + WBX: Unable to receive FM signals

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,

        I'm using USRP2 + WBX, with the SMA connector connected to the RX/TX connector, and I've stuck a piece of wire about 7" long into the SMA connector. 

However, when I run the following command, I get only static.

./usrp2_wfm_rcv.py -e eth2

Using RX d'board 0x0053

This daughterboard does not cover the required frequency range

for this application.  Please use a BasicRX or TVRX daughterboard.

Press ENTER to continue anyway, or Ctrl-C to exit.

The WBX has a range of 50MHz to 2.2GHz, so it does cover the frequency range. What's it's dbid, so that I can add it to the script? 

if not (dbid == 0x0001 or #usrp_dbid.BASIC_RX

                dbid == 0x0003 or #usrp_dbid.TV_RX

                dbid == 0x000c or #usrp_dbid.TV_RX_REV_2

                dbid == 0x0040 or #usrp_dbid.TV_RX_REV_3

                dbid == 0x0043 or #usrp_dbid.TV_RX_MIMO

                dbid == 0x0044 or #usrp_dbid.TV_RX_REV_2_MIMO

                dbid == 0x0045 or #usrp_dbid.TV_RX_REV_3_MIMO

dbid == 0x00??): #usrp_dbid.WBX
