Hi Manav
I haven’t really fixed it, but
rather get a different error. To do this, I updated to the latest copy of
firmware and fpga images as Josh had suggested.
I am yet to try the debug port and see if
it is failing to lock. Hopefully I can try this today.
Ian.

Unable to tune Tx or Rx with XCVR2450 on USRP2
How did the problem get fixed? I mean what frequency you are setting
with the "-f" option?

Thanks Josh
This partially fixed the problem, in the sense that samples are now
displayed on the fft window when running usrp2_fft.py, and it no longer
says "channel 0 not receiving". However, it still fails to set the
frequency of the receiver. Also, when I run usrp_siggen.py, I still get
the same problem that the Tx frequency can't be set. In verbose mode,
the output of usrp_siggen.py is as below. Any ideas on what else could
be wrong?
Regards
Ian.
USRP interpolation rate: 16
USRP IF bandwidth: 6.25MHz
Set TX
gain to: 15.0
Using auto-calculated mid-point frequency
Failed to set freq.
(...etc...)
