LFTX and RFX1800 have very different frequency ranges. Perhaps you are
not looking in the right frequency range for your signal? LFTX is just a
direct line from the DAC, so +/- 30 or so MHz centered about DC.
I suggest putting a known signal into the usrp sink and put a scope on
the output of the LFTX. If RFX is working, the DAC output should
definitely be there.
