I am trying to use the USRP 2 radio. I have been using the
rx_streaming_sample script to collect data.
If I use the rfx1800 daughtercard the results from the set_center_freq
command seem correct but the output
looks as if the receive channel is not connected (changing gain does not
affect output levels).
If I try the lfrx or dbs daughter cards the set_center_freq response
appears
incorrect.
The baseband frequency is 0 and the ddc frequency is the negative of the
commanded frequency.
Any suggestions?

What OS, version, distribution, architecture?
Which version of the GNU Radio code?
Are you feeding this with a signal generator? What’s your input
signal level? Which antenna port are you connected to? Have you tried
running usrp2_fft.py?

Those values are correct. Have you tried injecting a signal into the
board and looking at it using usrp2_fft.py?

We are using Fedora Linux version 7 on an x86 machine.
OK.

The GNU radio software is Revision 10211 (jcorgan)

We have the USRP 2 connected to a directional antenna. I have used the
dbs daughtercard hooked to the same antenna with a USRP 1 to verify
a signal is present.
For the dbs and lfrx daughtercards are the set_center_freq outputs of 0 for
Baseband freq and -commanded freq for ddc freq correct?
The output of the call using a flex1800 daughtercard is different.
What rx_daughterboard_id() does the USRP2 report for your RFX 1800?
With regard to RFX boards, the USRP2 only supports the MIMO_B version.
Any board that the firmware doesn’t recognize is treated as a Basic Rx
or Basic Tx.

Eric,
rx_daughterboard_id() returns id 0x0034 for the RFX 1800 daughtercard?
That’s a MIMO B board, so you should be fine.
For the comment on the RFX boards; does this mean we are unable to use the
dbs daughtercard on the USRP 2 unit?
No, the DBS RX is supported.
