Sorry, no time to code the algorithm, however here is a handcrafted
list:

   0x83, 0x64, 0x5C, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x3F, 0xC0, 0x00, 
   0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 

It contains ARFCN 536, 540, 868, 870 und 871, I have not yet checked it
with a phone.

I guess its OK to use it for all five BTS units, T-Mobile also includes
the main BCCH ARFCN in the neighbor cell list, at least here in my area,
so this should work for us too.

Best regards,
  Dieter
