OsmoBSC and OsmoBTS have been developed primarily for GSM-specific radios with calibrated,
defined output levels.
Using a general purpose SDR we really have no way of knowing what the output power will be,
and it differs from unit to unit as well as on the frequency you use. It's all a big mess :(
In the ideal world one would actually be able to purhcase factory-calibrated SDR
boards that came with a data file (or even stored on internal EEPROM) that would
tell you on which Tx port at which frequency and temperature dbFS (full scale)
results in what kind of absolute output power in dBm.
If the SDR manufacturers would ship such calibration data, life would be so easy.
