Alexander Chemeris alexander.chemeris at gmail.comChristopher, You seem to ask about OpenBTS actually. If you want to know about it, read official web-site: http://openbts.sourceforge.net/ and wki: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/OpenBTS There are plenty information there. You can ask on its mailing list too. And no, it doesn't work with USRP2. Currently only USRP1 is supported. But if you want to port it to USRP2, you're welcome.
