The LFRX has almost no gain, so you're limited by the noise floor of the 
ADC.  In the USRP2, you can probably reliably detect
  signals down to about -60dBm or so.  In the USRP1, you need somewhat 
more signal, about -50dBm or so.  But those are
  ballpark numbers.  But it depends on the details, and what kind of 
signals you're trying to detect, and whether you want to
  demodulate them, or merely detect their presence, etc.
