Subject: [USRP-users] Severe DC offset

I'm trying to decode 80211.g packets using the USRP2 and the XUPV5.

When I use the old USRP2 code (not the UHD build, but code obtained  
off of gnuradio head), I don't receive packets.  This appears to be  
caused by enormous power in the DC band.  When I collect similar  
traces using UHD code, I see no such DC offset and I can decode  
packets without issue.

I'm wondering what could have happened to cause this discrepancy.  The  
DSP code appears to be the same between the two FPGA builds.  My  
current belief is that something changed in the software configuration  
during the move to UHD.

Is there some kind of software post-processing going on in the new  
build?  Do I need to manually remove the DC offset using the the  
dcoffset registers in the rx dsp block?

I have attached power spectra showing the difference between UHD and  
the old code load.
