Hi everyone, I have the same problem (late packet). I think that the problem is the time on packet is in the past when the command arrives to device. The cause can be latency between pc and usrp.
My pc is quite powerfull so this behaviour seems strange. Maybe I have to change timestamp on packet but I don't know if it is possible because I work at python level and use UHD functions (usrp_sink and usrp_source). I also use only one USRP loopbacking TX e RX. Thanks, Irene 2015-10-05 21:13 GMT+02:00 Marcus D.
