[Discuss-gnuradio] sine output between packets

2011-09-25 Thread Brett L. Trotter
It seems my old patch that zeroed out the output of the USRP didn't make it into UHD- we're seeing a constant sine output between packets- and in our case this messes with the receiver unless we use some custom TX cards that have an amp we can shut down with ATR. Is there any way to fix this?

I have a rev 2, rev 3 and a rev 4 usrp here. When I plug in either the 2 or 3 (no serial #) and a 4 and do a lsusrp, both usrp's show up as one or the other (daughter cards and everything) until I do a second lsusrp. Is this a bug? It's no big deal, but I was curious what's causing it. This is

I may be mistaken, but when I last svn updated off the trunk, boost 1.35+ was required. This is not yet in the Fedora repositories (1.36 beta is in development however) and means building gnuradio with a standard system is not possible. While one can find the 1.36 src rpm and build it, it's a bit
