/*! USRP Source -- Radio Receiver
 * \ingroup uhd_blk
 *
 * The USRP source block receives samples and writes to a stream.
 * The source block also provides API calls for receiver settings.
 * See also gr::uhd::usrp_block for more public API calls.
 *
 * RX Stream tagging:
 *
 * The following tag keys will be produced by the work function:
 *  - pmt::string_to_symbol("rx_time")
 *
 * The timestamp tag value is a pmt tuple of the following:
 * (uint64 seconds, and double fractional seconds).
 * A timestamp tag is produced at start() and after overflows.
 *
 * \section uhd_rx_command_iface Command interface
 *
 * This block has a message port, which consumes UHD PMT commands.
 * For a description of the command syntax, see Section \ref uhd_command_syntax.
 *
 * For a more general description of the gr-uhd components, see \ref page_uhd.
