Hi,

While developing a X300/WBX based DOA application that should run stable for 
some longer time, we found out that there is the need to periodically 
re-synchronize the signals most likely due to slightly drifting pll 
output-frequencies across all independent frontends (this is phase drift 
noticeable by just watching a sine signal split to all receivers on a scope in 
GNU radio  over a longer period).

Now we plan to do a training-sequence that calculates phase-correction 
coefficients each five seconds with a reference signal generator connected to 
RX2 while the rest of the time TX/RX should be active and process the 
real-world antenna input.

How do I manage to do this through the C++ API. There are two points I’m not 
sure about:
1. Is it possible to switch rx antennas while continuous streaming is running? 
If yes, is it safe to call set_rx_antenna from a different thread than 
rxStream->recv at any time?
2. If this is possible, do I have to clear all buffers in the signal chain that 
could contain past samples that still originate from the other antenna port or 
will the antenna switching clear all buffers automatically? If I have to clear 
those buffers by myself, how do I do it?

Thanks for your replies in advance!
Janos
