Thanks Harald,

I see this means I can only see the traffic that the BTS pass to the BSC but 
not all the on the air traffic.

I know about the possibility to use OsmocomBB to sniff over the air, 
but I will need to transmit as well, I mean to replay some of the sniffed 
traffic, 
can this be done in anyway with OsmocomBB? or I will I have to use both 
OsmocomBB  to sniff and OpenBTS to replay?

Thanks again for the clarification, and sorry for the newbie questions
but it's a bit difficult to figure out how things work without actually 
playing with them.
