Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] receive sensitivity of B200

[Martin Braun]

Are you rx'ing only with the B200, or tx'ing too?

If you have a VHF antenna, you can tune it to your local FM radio stations and you will see them on uhd_fft if things are set up correctly. Adding to what Marcus said, check the correct LED is lit to verify you're using the right antenna port.

Hi, I use B200 with OpenBTS at 900MHz. I get very low range (about 10m only) and I identified that this is due to receive channel in B200. Changing rxgain between 0 and 70dB makes vey little difference. Does anyone know how the receive sensitivity of B200 compare with, for example, WBX?
What could be the reason for this low sensitivity? uhd_fft spectrum looks  "normal" , in the sense that I do not suspect a broken LNA.

Are you on the correct antenna port?

The B2xx RF section is roughly the same noise figure and total gain as a WBX.
