I contacted Ettus Tech support. They said that basicRx card samples
at higher Nyquist region. So, it requires external RF gain and filtering
component.
Can someone suggest such a RF component which I can buy off-the-shelf
which can work with basicRx card?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have a USRP N210 with basicRX daughterboard. I ran uhd_wbfm_receive.grc
application. But I cannot tune to any FM radio station. I get warning like
----------------------
UHD Warning:
The hardware does not support the requested RX frequency:
Target frequency: 88.500000 MHz
Actual frequency: -11.500000 MHz
>>> gr_fir_ccf: using SSE
>>> gr_fir_fff: using SSE
audio_alsa_sink[hw:0,0]: unable to support sampling rate 40000
card requested 44100 instead.
--------------------------
There was a similar post in the archive, but the reply said, it is ok to get
this warning. If the card supports 88.5 MHz, then why is it not able to receive
the station?
I read somewhere that basicRX daughterboard needs an external RF component. Is
the problem arising because I do not have an external RF component? If so, what
kind of external RF component I should buy (from Ettus?)?
