You have not read or internalized the specifications for the oscillator on the USRP which is intimately involved in this system. It is 50 ppm accuracy which is bad enough, but look at the can. It is begging to have thermal variances. Start up the usrp and your process and investigate

There is a multiplier circuit/ PLL in the DBS-RX. Whatever phase noise is coming from the oscillator is being multiplied considerably by this upconversion to be used at LO in the DBS-RX. You cannot get low phase noise oscillators and high performance mixers in that small a package. Together

I've noticed that the DLL of my software receiver settles to +15 Hz, and the true IF is +24 kHz from the predicted IF. This would indicate that the 64 MHz board clock is ~1 kHz from its spec value. This, in itself is not a problem, but I was wondering if this was within tolerances of the
