Currently my plan is to dig into the MT6260 as started by the fernly/fernvale project. Current target is the SIM800H which contains the MT6260. I saw both that sysmocom has a $150 fernvale setup and Lime SDR has a USB bare-board for $250+ but I have to stick with something that is "phone" like and so am working on designing a small SIM800H/MT6260-based phone which can be expanded and/or used to experiment.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466693096023_6726" dir="ltr"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466693096023_6727"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466693096023_6728" dir="ltr">If there was something like LimeSDR that was small and less expensive I would go that route.
