Hi,
Thanks everybody, this thread helped me a lot to understand the multi
antenna cabability of gnuradio.
I tried to run the multi_scope.py on a cingle USRP having two rfx2400
daughterboards with following changes in current multi_scope.py:

1) On line 44: nchan changed to 2 from 4
2) On Line 67: "len(self.subdev) != 4)"  changed to "len(self.subdev) != 2)"
3) On line 68 and 69: usrp_dbid.BASIC_RX changed to
usrp_dbid.FLEX_2400_RX_MIMO_B

I generate sinusoid of 2.43G on a different machine/gnuradio and then run
the command ./multi_scope.py -f2.43G -d128 -g0 on another machine with above
changes, but i dont see anything other than noise on my scope. I tried
different rbf files std_2rxhb_2tx.rbf, multi_2rxhb_2tx.rbf and got nothing,
but the noise.

Next I changed the fpga_filename to multi_4rx_0tx.rbf, but i got following
error:
Can't find fpga bitstream: multi_4rx_0tx.rbf
and program stoped with runtime error of "Can't open USRP"

Any suggestion?
