USRP2 benchmark_rx.py, benchmark_tx.py, transmit_path_usrp2.py, receive_path_usrp2.py, pick_bitrate

Hi,

I am trying to establish communication between USRP2 and USRP1. I am
using
RFX2400 daughterboard. I am using Ubuntu 8.10. I am using the svn
version of
GNU Radio. I dont know the revision number. I am not able to receive
anything on USRP2 when USRP1 is transmitting and vice versa. The python
codes for USRP2 work perfectly fine. I guess there is some problem with
the
ADC and DAC incompatibility (interpolation and decimation) between USRP2
and
USRP1. I am attaching all the necessary files that I am using currently.
I
would appreciate if someone can look at these files and help me to sort
out
the problem.
