Ignore that in this case, and leave it at 250

Set the gain near about 60, and make sure you put the station frequency you want
in the command line.

Ignore those warnings

The DC offset is not used in this one because we are sampling at IF. Don't
bother with that slider.

That's a good idea. Try hooking up a signal generator to the BasicRX and
running usrp_fft.py
