[Discuss-gnuradio] gain more than 20 dB in uhd_tx_dpsk.py

Hi,

I am using gnu 3.7, Ubuntu 13.04, USRP N200 with XCVR2450.

When I run gr-uhd/examples/grc$ sudo ./uhd_tx_dpsk.py I can increase tx gain to more than 20 dB. The power of the XCRV2450 is 100mW.
In this case the sink or the source will react to an higher gain (>20dB).
1. Why does it happen?

2. The second question is how about always transmitting with max gain?
