Thanks Marcus for the quick reply!

I have a B210 with a GPSDO (the TCXO one).

And the system is “offline only” now but I can manually type a response with 
something specific if you like.

So I have a little checkbox that I click on my GRC GUI that starts the 
recording to a File Sink from a “UHD: USRP Source”. Here’s some details of what 
I have specified in the UHD: USRP Source - File Sink Box Pair.

[FILE SINK]

Does this help at all?

I tried the ./rx_samples_to_file from within “/usr/lib/uhd/examples” with 
similar options but I don’t see an O/U with the selected options. Is this a GRC 
thing? I have no idea…

If you just use the rx_samples_to_file utility that comes with UHD what are 
your results

Can you share your GNuRadio flow graph with us? What type of USRP do you have? 
There are about a dozen different models of USRP out there.

Hi Guys,

I appreciate you all and thank you for the great community that is this mailing 
list! Continue on!

I, however, am a complete N00B and require assistance on some seemingly minor 
tasks that I believe you could help me out on. :)

With that being said, I find myself with the Ubuntu 20.04LTS install on a 
rather “fast” Dell laptop (specs down below.)

-          8th Gen Intel Core i7-8650U Processor (Quad Core, 8M Cache, 
1.9GHz,15W, vPro)

-          16GB, 2x8GB, 2666MHz DDR4 Non-ECC

-          M.2 1TB PCIe NVMe Class 40 Opal 2.0 Self Encrypting Solid State Drive

I have fiddled around with an online install on the laptop but I haven’t gotten 
the overflows and underflows to cooperate. And to be more specific, I can 
record a sample rate of 2Mhz and 0.2Mhz bandwidth without issue, but I can’t 
get a SR or BW greater than those to work without Under/Overflows developing. 
(I have been using UHD 3.15.0.02build5 with GNURadio 3.8.1.0 (Python 3.8.2) 
(grc and grc-uhd) and installed everything with “apt”. The first line in my grc 
python output labels “Linux GNU C++ version 9.2.1 20200304; Boost_107100; 
UHD_3.15.0.0-2build5”, USB3.0). Any ideas? I tried both the num_recv_frame size 
stuff and setting high priority with no joy, but then again, I am a N00b, so I 
may not have done that correctly as well…

Also if anyone has experience with GRC specifically, I have had success 
recording what I wanted to with a file with the 2MHz Sample Rate with a 0.2 MHz 
BW, but the files are pretty huge. We’re talking 1GB/min… Any idea how to make 
the GRC record to a less-fine resolution so I can free up some HDD space?

Thanks guys!
Ya Boi Steve
