Hi yet again…I thought to see what would happen if I modified txrx_loopback_to_file.cpp to output scheduled transmit bursts.I modified the transmit worker function to schedule bursts. Up to the settling time (i.e., when the recv starts grabbing samples), the output on the scope looks as expected —

Hi again, Marcus (and all). I have continued to try and sort out this problem and may be able to provide some more insight, or at least failed approaches. Another reader suggested that using STREAM_MODE_NUM_SAMPS_AND_MORE may help if there is a setup or latency issue. So, I changed the receptio
