Dear,

Sorry if I have too much question, I am getting started with GNU radio,  
and  
I did not find the answer for this on the Internet.

I have USRP1 and inside it has 2 daughter boards: WBX and RFX400.  
I run the FM receiving grc file and got this

UHD Warning:  
Tune Request: 102.500000 MHz  
The ification:  
Target Frequency: 102.500000 MHz  
Clipped Target Frequency: 380.000000 MHz  
The RF LO does not support the requested frequency:  
Requested LO Frequency: 380.000000 MHz  
RF LO Result: 400.000000 MHz  
Attempted to use the DSP to reach the requested frequency:  
Desired DSP Frequency: 20.000000 MHz  
DSP Result: 20.000000 MHz  
Successfully tuned to 380.000000 MHz

I changed various frequency and figure out the range that has  
Successfully  
tuned is from 380Mhz to 520Mhz.  
I don’t know why this happen, the WBX suppose to have range from 50Mhz  
to  
2200Mhz. Does it come from the wrong firmware ?  
And moreover, my USRP has 2 daughter board, so how can I choose exact  
daughter board to use ? In UHD USRP source of GNU radio. only have  
options  
for antenna port for example RX2 or TX/RX, right ?

Best regards,  
Hoang

If your WBX is in the first slot, you’d use:

A:0

If your WBX is in the 2nd slot, you’d use:

B:0

As the subdevice specification.

You can use:

uhd\_usrp\_probe --args “type=usrp1”

To get a listing of the device configuration, including which slot your  
WBX and RFX2400 cards are in on the USRP1.

Hi Hoang,

the 380MHz is the lower frequency you can get with a RFX400. That’s  
correct.

You can chose your daughterboard by using the number of channels  
argument (if you want both), or the subdev spec [1], like:  
B:0  
to select the WBX in your second slot.

Best regards,  
Marcus
