Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UHD GRC loopback glitches

[Josh Blum]

This could very well be underflow on the tx or overflow on the rx. Are 
you seeing Us and Os printed to stderr while running? I suggest:

1) reduce the sample rate to see of that fixes or reduces the problem
2) isolate the problem as either an rx or tx problem
3) if this in linux, make sure you have enabled a large rx buffer
