Couple of things. First of all, when you add two signals together, you
don't add the sample rates. Two 256ksps streams added together still
result in a single 256ksps stream. Second, 256ksps is not a factor of
100Msps, so the USRP2 picks the closest available valid rate, which is
100e6/392=255.102ksps. You might have better luck using a sample rate
which is natively supported. Try 250ksps.
