Hi Andreas, Is my line of interest irrelevant to the OsmocomBB project? In short, is the project intending to explore use of the phone for anything besides the conventional calling and conventional SMS. If you recall, my interest was to write code to enable the phone to 'sense' and detect signal from a remote source of few metres. I need to be able to write the code. Can i? I need a response desperately so that i stop cluttering the forum.

Dear all, I lecture at strathmore university, Kenya, East Africa. For my PhD, i need to develop a cell-phone model that senses and recognizes a specific RF frequency from a source. It then submits the value of that frequency by SMS.
Is it possible to use the OsmocomBB platform to program such a device using motorola C123?

hi ojenge,
osmocombb supports sms. you can also "sense" RF frequence, but you need to add some feature to do measurement at the first plane and then send the sms with the results. c123 is capable of receiving GSM downlink frequencies only. you may also receive uplink and even (with modifications to the firmware) receive frequencies a bit outside GSM bands. in this case you need to replace filters or your signal level is reduced. the osmocombb firmware is capable of measuring rx levels of given frequencies while being idle on a gsm cell. what do you want to "sense"?
regards,
andreas
