Actually we have another setup with a different host and different B210
that shows a similar behavior.

I had the feeling that when using "otw-format=sc12" for some of the
configs we are running, the problem happens quicker. But it's just a
feeling. Is there any known unsuitability or caveat when using sc12?

In any case, I'll try to approach the issue a bit more systematic over
the coming days/weeks and carefully swap cable/USRPs/hosts to see if we
can identify a pattern. This may take a while though due to the current
situation with lab access, etc.

Anyway, if there is anything else that I could try, let me know.

Thanks
Andre
