You probably need to load the SD card with the txrx_wbx.bin firmware: http://gnuradio.org/releases/usrp2-bin/trunk/

Hello everyone,

I just got the USRP2+WBX recently. And I used the famous "usrp2_fft.py" as a
starting point.

The problem I met is that the curve plotted by the usrp2_fft.py seemed to be
abnormal. Sometimes, the amplitude of the curve was around -150 dB, and
sometimes it went below -400 dB.

An antenna was attached to the "TX/RX" port of the WBX.

I tried "usrp2_probe" and got the following information.


USRP2 Probe

MAC Addr:
     00:50:c2:85

Name (ID):
     1

Converter Rate:
     100000000 Hz

Gain Range (min, max, step size):
     0.0
     0.0
     0.0

Freq Range (min, max):
     -90000000000.0 Hz
     90000000000.0 Hz


It looks like to me the RF daughterboard was not properly configured.

Did anyone meet such a problem?

Also, I have another two questions:

For full-duplex communications, does it mean both "TX/RX" and "RX2" need to
be attached to antennae? How to configure the WBX?

On "usrp2_fft.py", if the center frequency was set beyond 206 MHz, it would
prompt "Failed". Why this happened? There was no such prompt using the FFT
Sink on GRC.


Thanks.

-Evan
