Hello everyone,

I'm looking for help.


I have downloaded and built Airprobe (gsm-receiver, gssm, ) on my Ubuntu
machine.

a/ Using the capture file provided on the web site, I could get a first
level of decoding done:

nphan at ubuntu:~/airprobe/gsm-receiver/src/python$ more capture_941.8M_112.log

Key: '0000000000000000'
Configuration: ''
  No configuration set.

but in wireshark I can't see any decoded info such as BCCH system info
etc...

b/ It looks like my capture isn't working properly either (ie I can't even
get the 1st level of decoding as with capture file provided in the web
site).

I have a USRP1 with 2 RFX900 with a ClockTamer providing 52Mhz clock.

I have changed the various Python scripts so that the RFX daughter on side B
and RX2  are selected. I have also changed the clock rate to 52M to match my
HW.  I have input the frequency of a known BTS (which kal can see and
measure the offset).

Any hints about what is wrong in my set-up or process?

Thanks
Nghia
