I tried both of your suggestions – increasing RX gain and offsetting RX frequency. However, neither seem to be working.

Perhaps this is not my issue then. I am having issue with sending and receiving a simple sine wave using N310. In the simplest case, I can take X310 run txrx_loopback_to_file with the arguments below, plot reals and imaginaries of the stored files and I can see the sine wave. If I do the exact same command against a N310, I appear to just see noise, which seems to be highly quantized. Just values in the range between -4 and 4. ./txrx_loopback_to_file --tx-args "addr=192.168.20.2,clock_source=external,time_source=external" --rx-args "addr=192.168.20.2,clock_source=external,time_source=external" --tx-rate 1.25e6 --rx-rate 1.25e6 --tx-freq 1800e6 --rx-freq 1800e6 --tx-channels "0" --rx-channels "1" --wave-type SINE --wave-freq 1e3 Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Lenny The gain-control range on the AD9371 is much larger than on cards you'll find on the X310. Try increasing the RX gain, and offset the RX frequency a bit -- you may be losing some in DC-offset removal for a carrier that is right on top of the "DC" region.

When looking through the UHD code, I tracked down to these FIXME comments: https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/blob/master/host/lib/usrp/dboard/magnesium/magnesium_radio_ctrl_impl.cpp#L322 Is this some sort of limitation with the N310 and the AD9371 tranceiver? Does this mean I am unable to set TX and RX bandwidth at all? Thanks, Lenny Based purely on the comment, I'm guessing that there are notionally registers to control this in the AD9371, but they don't apparently work as documented, hence the warning message. Keep in mind that *internally*, the AD9371 samples the analog mixer outputs at several hundred MHz, so if the internal anti-alias filters are set-up for 100MHz by default, there's no danger of aliases appearing in the outputs, regardless of your ultimate sample-rate delivered to the host.
