Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Running tunnel.py/benchmark_tx.py (OFDM) with XCVR2450?

[Andrew Davis]

That's kinda odd now that I think about it, I had a similar problem and on an oscilloscope it looked like DAC clipping, but I could have been non-linearity in the final amp, what kind of problems do XCVR2450 have at high outputs?

I'm thinking that too, there really should be some kind of warning when you drive the DAC to saturation.

It's not the DAC that's typically the problem, it's the final RF amplifier on the daughter-card, and
  that's not precisely predictable from the software side.
