Hi Rafael,

what you're trying to build is not a causal system -- you tell the sink
to start transmitting the first sample right at the same moment that
your source receives the first sample -- but between that, the samples
have to flow through your PC!

Add a bit of delay between rx and tx.

Also, what daughterboard are you using? Unless you use one of the
daughterboards that support static phase after tuning, and tune as a
timed command, the LO phase between the RX and TX will be random [1]

Best regards,
Marcus
