Hi Arik, I just took a quick look at your flowgraph. Some things jump out at me: 1. You have the modulator set at 2 samples/symbol, but the reality is, most hardware is not going to transmit at 320 ksps. The X310 USRP for example requires a minimum of 500 ksps for Tx, so you might as well just

If you can synthesize the LO for the upconverter using the RTL XO as a reference, the drift may tend to cancel. I say "may" as this is a trick used in dual or triple down conversion chains. If you can alternate between low and high sided IFs, then the drifts will move in the opposite directions
