Thanks, so it is.
Unfortunately though, I have discovered that the gain for an RFX card cannot be
adjusted (min=0, max=0, step=0), requiring a massive multiply value in
gnuradio-companion, so its all very distorted. :-(
Cheers,
Dave

My guess is that with USRP2, samples are scaled -1.0 to 1.0. Which
means that a straight conversion to
a short integer is going to yield zero most of the time. Try putting
a multiplier block in front of your
file sink--maybe scale those -1.0 to +1.0 to +/- 32767.
