Try your system back-to-back without any packetisation mechanism. Use a very 
short length vector source with couple of numbers as data. Make sure you are 
receiving the same sequence at the Rx side.

If you don’t. Try a loopback system without any USRPs and see if your data is 
received at the Rx side.

Cheers.

Hello Brian,
It will be difficult to provide useful advice without seeing your flowgraph. 
Does your file correctly get written if you bypass the actual radios and simply 
connect the transmitter and receiver flowgraphs together? If it does then you 
probably need to add synchronization to your receiver.

Another good check is to look at the received raw spectrum and ensure that the 
signal is being received at an appropriate power level. How do you have the two 
USRPs connected? Antennas or coax with an attenuator?
Regards,
Derek

I am attempting to send a file from one usrp to the other.

On investigating the output of the receiver it would not appear that it is 
processing anything possibly because of the access code but I have conformed 
they match and are suitably long and random.

The file I get out is 0bytes.  If I bypass the decoder a large file is created, 
although large and unusable (noise)

Any advice on how to proceed will be gratefully received and a pre-configured 
tx and rx flow graph will be most welcome.
