Hi!

In *"Changing the Master Clock Rate"* ( https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_b200.html#b200_mcr ) I see this:

/[...] The clock rate can be set to any value between 5 MHz and 61.44 MHz [...]/

But I found that to be false, and able to lower the *master_clock_rate* down to *220 kHz*:

uhd_usrp_probe --args="master_clock_rate=220e3"
linux; GNU C++ version 4.9.2; Boost_105500; UHD_003.009.HEAD-0-g43639b7a
-- Detected Device: B200
-- Operating over USB 3.
-- Initialize CODEC control...
-- Initialize Radio control...
-- Performing register loopback test... pass
-- Performing CODEC loopback test... pass
-- Asking for clock rate 0.220000 MHz...
-- Actually got clock rate 0.220000 MHz.
-- Performing timer loopback test... pass

I also tried lowering it to 2 MHz inside a working tx application (with an 
external demodulator) and went fine.

Hope it helps.

Bye!

I could be wrong, but I'm not certain that the AD9361 anti-alias filters inside the chip will work properly at those very-low clock rates, which is why 5MHz
  is specified as the lower bound.

Keep in mind that you can set any sample-rate that is an integer fraction of the master clock rate, so even with a master clock rate of 5MHz, you can
  still ask for (properly decimated) sample rates well below that.
