Looks like the rfx2200 code for usrp1 is incomplete.  I have attached
a patch that should apply rfx2200 support to any gnuradio tree >=
3.3.0

Alternately, I have a git branch (rfx2200) here:
git://github.com/jasonabele/gnuradio.git
9fd4f4014ed4358f68fb46fd0edf50bd5e3cba82

Finally, if you want the hackish, no software update option, just use
<GNURADIO_SRC>/usrp/host/apps/burn-db-eeprom

to program the rfx2200 as an rfx2400_mimo_b, but tune it to 2G-2.4G
and it will work

I'll work on getting the rfx2200 update applied to maint/master/next
at gnuradio.org
