Hi Zamrath,

there's no connection loss -- the USRP is just now talking to the
OpenBTS application, and won't talk to other applications, including
uhd_usrp_probe.

Ok, that means the USRP is not configured to receive samples, ie. the
software (OpenBTS) has not yet started to talk to it, possibly because
something went wrong. Since we already constantly cross-post with the
OpenBTS list (hi, people!), I recommend going through the output of
OpenBTS, and talking to the OpenBTS community about these messages.

GNU Radio is completely unrelated to this problem -- it's not a part of
OpenBTS.

At this point, probably not. Even with a lot of Under-/Overflows, which
would be typical for a  case of CPU bottleneck, the A LED should be shining.

Greetings,
