Changing the fft size won't change your sensing time that much unless the
machine you're using is really slow or the fft size is outrageous.  What fft
sizes are you using?

What will affect your sensing time more is the sampling/decimation rate you
sent, the tune delay, and the dwell delay.  Be careful when changing the
tune delay, if it is too short your data will be corrupted.

Look at the usrp_spectrum_sense.py code and try this:

$ python usrp_spectrum_sense.py --help


Also, since you're only trying to look at a narrow band,
usrp_spectrum_sense.py isn't for you. This script is really for looking at
different bands and different times, but you really only need to look at one
band.  Basically, you never need to retune and a lot of that script does is
retune.
