[Discuss-gnuradio] Succesful test of VRT-branch code

Hi All, I was able to send four bursts between two USRP2s. The two USRP2s were equipped with xcvr2450 boards. The bursts were 0.336ms long. The spacing between the bursts were 3ms. The sample rate was 25MHz. The four bursts were sent as A-B, B-A, A-B, B-A. The nodes were locked to (the same)

If we had an fpga image that allowed us to store samples on the USRP2 that would be very benefitial, at least for me. Then one could test algorithms with 100MHz sample-rate. Yes, it would not be possible to use the channel continously. Receiving 1ms of samples would take 4ms to upload.
