Even if there were, you'd need the motherboard-DAC and digital logic to 
"feed" it.  The only USRP1 that has two sets of independant  DAC/ADC is
   the USRP1.  But there's no "doublewide" daughtercard.

I assume you want two entirely independant TX channels.   If all you 
want to do is just feed two antenna, use an analog splitter.

LFTX can transmit out two ports simultaneously - I and Q separately.

Thanks for the reply. What i want to do is to make a two antenna phased
array on one usrp. So i need two TX channels. Is that possible? Has anybody
tried the same work? Thanks.

You could do it with a USRP1 and two daughtercards, although there's no 
support for "timed commands" on USRP1, so getting the LOs to have
   zero phase offset wouldn't be possible, so you'd need to calibrate 
your array.

Or a single other-type of USRP with LF_TX or BASIC_TX, but if you wanted 
it to be upconverted to another frequency (outside of the frequency band
   available on the BASIC_TX/LF_TX), you'd need to use an external 
upconverter, and ideally, it should be phase-synchronous itself.

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I have pushed updates into the E1XX package feeds that should resolve
the Sssss some people have been seeing. Here is a quick summary of the
changes:

 * UHD 3.5.2 (includes CBX)
 * Updated kernel (fpga interface timing change, Add support for CIFS
and Multicast)
 * GnuRadio 3.6.4.1

You can install these with:

# opkg update
# opkg upgrade

while you are connected to the internet.

We just updated one of our E110s and now it no longer finishes booting.

It gets to the point in the boot cycle where it loads the E110 FPGA image
and says "-- Configuration complete", then it appears that the system halts.
I stop receiving anything over the serial console and the Ethernet port
lights on the E110 go out.

I think my only option at this point is to pull the power plug, which will
likely compound our problems by corrupting my SD card :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
~Alex

After running upgrade, reboot the unit so you are running on the new kernel.

Subject: [USRP-users] BPSK using GRC
Message-ID:
        <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Dear All,
I use GRC to implement data transfer text files using BPSK modulation. BPSK 
modulation block on the Tx and Rx, constellation, and FFT display on the 
attachments.

The problem in this system, in receiver the contents of text file is null.?Is 
there something wrong with BPSK ?block systems in Tx and Rx?

Thanks,
Best Regards,

Zai

Hi, differential encoding is disabled on tx side but enabled on rx side.
Hope that fixes things.

Hi again, you are also not gray coding on tx but you are on rx.  FYI, a
further tweak for efficiency is to disable 'Pad for USRP' which is no
longer required for UHD implementations and was only applicable to USB USRP
devices anyhow.
