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

What gain setting are you using for both TX and RX?
What happens if you don't use external time and clock sources?

Hi Marcus,
Thanks for your answer. 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.
