YES. I also found this fact that the dynamic ranges of two usrps are so
different, just in these days.

Furthermore, the range of usrp.source_32fc is also +-1.0, right? Because I
found the sample amplitude is very small when I use usrp2_fft.py observe the
same RF input on USRP2, compared with usrp_fft.py on USRP.
