I've tried different gains on both boards, but it doesn't make a difference. The frequency I am tuning to is 560.31 MHz, which is below the specified frequency range of the DBSRX. My DBSRX tunes to that frequency without any errors, but perhaps tuning it out of range it is causing a problem. I will try to compare with a spectrum analyzer to see which card is giving the most accurate representation of the signal.
