Ok, first of all congratulation for this project...

Ok, I understood that it wouldn´t work as USRP. But would it allow you to tune (or listen - sory don´t know the tecnical term in english) an especific ARFCN and time slot ?

Hi Harald

Thanks for clarifying this confusion. I bought a motorola C123 on ebay with RS232 data cable. When I arrive I'll try this fantastic software. Thank you very much for your work, this world needs more people like you
