You can request that UHD tries to get the LO offset you request as close
as possible, but because the LO synthesizers used on the
USRPs/daughterboards (what are you using, by the way?) can only
synthesize a discrete set of frequencies, not everything is possible.
Now, I just realized you tried to tune a daughterboard to 3MHz (I
misread and thought you'd try to tune to 3GHz). There's no daughterboard
that goes that far down, because that's really just baseband.
So I have to assume that you're using LFRX or BasicRX, which don't have
mixers, so the LO frequency is always 0 and the digital shifting is
always the center frequency you ask for.

Best regards,
Marcus
