 Hi Rob,

 Thank you for your reply. Indeed, when I ran UHD probe on another
 X310 with the old WBX daughter card installed, the old radio
 daughter card model reported WBX-120, not WBX-40 as I first
 thought. Your answer on another post explained it all. The max
 lo_offset depends on the RF bandwidth of the radio card and the
 signal bandwidth. Is such information available on any Ettus
 Research Wiki website? I don’t recall I had seen such explanation
 on internet. Anyway, thank you so much for your explanation!

It's one of those things that is not USRP-specific, but a generic RF
thing. We don't always document those (although there are plenty of
cases where we do). Anyway, glad you figured it out!

It continues to be the case that there's a large amount of "background
knowledge" that we (and, really any OTHER vendor of SDRs) kind of assume
  that our users/devs already know.

For many people developing in the SDR space these days, the radio and
DSP aspects are kind of "details" that are secondary to the project goals.
  Not sure how ANY vendor can really address this without basically
offering the equivalent of (part of) an undergraduate EECS degree
program....
