After looking at the output level on the FFT on the UHD, I realised it
was way too low compared to the USRP implementation. 

The final solution was to complex multiply the output of the UHD block
by 75,000.

Josh had mentioned the output level of UHD but it didn't twig that I
would need a multiplier.
