Thank you Thomas (and Marcus)
for the replies. I've been using the 8 bit mode un the USRP1 a while
ago for a different application. I was looking for a slightly higher
precision.
I did not know that the usrp2 could not do the 8bit sampling. Thanks
for the info.

At one time, there were plans to implement a user-configurable "shift
and mask" approach to
bit precision on the USRP1 end, along with appropriate packing
routines, etc. But this never
happened, so there's 16-bit and 8-bit, and nothing in between.
The changes require support in the USRP1 uController code, and the
support code on the Gnu Radio
end. While not that difficult, they're not that trivial, either.
