Hi Sylvain,

Thank you for getting back to me.
I suspected it would not be easy to decode the uplink speech and you
confirmed that. I will probably not spend more effort on it.

Your code and suggestions have helped me a lot. I have decoded my own
downlink speech and now the RACH.
Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,
Johann
