The sent antenna feature is not implemented for the RFX boards when using the gnuradio usrp2 driver. However, this functionality has been implemented in the UHD: http://ettus-apps.sourcerepo.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki

What you are seeing is that when receiving-only (no transmit), the TX/RX port is selected for receive.

When transmitting (or simultaneously transmitting and receiving), the TX/RX port is selected for transmit, and the RX2 port is selected for receive.

Hi Matt,

The first step to getting duplex to work is to make sure I can switch
between RX/TX and RX2 on the
rfx900. So that is what I am trying to do now.

I have given this a shot and determined that I am not sure if I am
calling this correctly. I have
the new firmware (you pointed us to) and I running with gnuradio 3.3.0-rc0.

From python (usrp2_fft.py), the only function that allows the python
script
to work is
self.u.set_antenna(X), where X is an integer. I am not sure what the
value of X should be if
I am want to use TX/RX or if I a want to use RX2...can you please let me
know?

From C++, I call it as follows:
u2->set_rx_antenna('RX2')

it only takes integers, and those are character quotes.


This compiles, don't know if it works (currently trying to test), if I
want to go back to TX/RX can
you tell me how I would call it from c++, also is calling it with 'RX2'
correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sharif

Yes, this is supported now in the latest USRP2 firmware. You can get
it from:

I'll let Matt comment on your proposed firmware changes

I think the next usrp2 firmware major rev will support switching my

Hello,
I have an application that requires me to continuously recieve a
signal, while
continuously transmitting a delayed version of that recieved signal.
As a result
I need full duplex. I have a USRP2 and the rfx900 daughter board. My
plan
is to use the TX/RX port to transmit while using the RX2 port to
recieve. However,
I can not seem to get anything to listen/recieve on port RX2. For
example when
I run usrp2_fft.py and insert
self.subdev.select_rx_antenna('RX2).
this gives the error shown below. By searching discuss-gnuradio II see
where someone
has suggested that I rebuild the firmware by making these changes (for
the rfx_900),
.base.atr_txval=0 ------> .base.atr_txval=MIX_EN | ANT_SW
.base.atr_rxval= MIX_EN --------> base.atr_rxval= MIX_EN | ANT_SW
2 Questions:
------------------
However, will the above a) work, that is allow me to use the RX2 port
to recieve and b)
will it fix the problem shown below when I insert the call to
self.subdev.select_rx_antenna('RX2).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
