Yes - I have two command line arguments, and when I print out
u2a->mac_addr().c_str() and u2b->mac_addr().c_str() I get the expected
results.

Somewhat more disturbing. I've turned off the 1Hz/1PPS, and I'm not
getting errors from sync_to_pps() (i.e. it still thinks they are
synchronized - even after power cycling). When I added the code to the
copy handler to print out the timestamp, etc. from the frame/metadata, I
still get identical timestamps being sent: i.e. when I run:
./rx_mimo -m 30:80 -n 30:81 -f 2.412G -d 128 -g 30 -N 500 -o test1.dat
-O test2.dat -v -M LOCK_TO_SMA

I get:
USRP2 (A) MAC address: 00:50:c2:85:30:80

Daughterboard configuration:
  baseband_freq=2412500000.000000
       ddc_freq=500000.000000
  residual_freq=0.011176
       inverted=no

USRP2 (B) MAC address: 00:50:c2:85:30:81

Daughterboard configuration:
  baseband_freq=2412500000.000000
       ddc_freq=500000.000000
  residual_freq=0.011176
       inverted=no

USRP2 (A) using decimation rate of 128

S
Copy handler called 2 times.
Copy handler called with 2968 bytes.

Elapsed time was 0.001 seconds.
Packet rate was 3040 pkts/sec.
Approximate throughput was  4.51 MB/sec.
Total instances of overruns was 1. (A)
Total missing frames was 254. (A)

This is with no 1PPS, no 10Mhz reference signal, and the antenna on
30:80 was removed (installed on 30:81). I'm going to pull up wireshark
to compare the frames I'm getting from each USRP2.
