Hello all

```
If someone has ever measured Quality of service of received data 

```

(using  
any modulation and daughter board but preferably RFX2400) in terms of  
packet  
loss rate/Bit Error Rate (or any other metric) with USRP(preferably  
N200) &  
GNU Radio then please share your results here.I am using RFX2400  
daughter  
boards, VERT2450 antenna which I received with my USRPN200 from ettus,

You can look at the gnuradio-examples/python/digital-bert for how this  
has been done in the past.
