Hi,
I'm thinking about why the mobile app don't show me the German GSM-R (MCC: 262, MNC: 10) cells they are around me. The rssi app shows me the cells (e. g. ARFCN: 957 and 961). I'm using the sylvain/testing branch and I am searching for more details in the source code and found in settings.c that the r gsm band are enabled and in the freq_list. Can someone tell me another point for searching in source?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards. kasio

Are you sure the band is enabled in the configuration ?
if you do 'show run' in the vty you should see the 'support' section that has 'r-gsm'

Hi Sylvain,
yes I'm sure the r-gsm band is enabled in the mobile.cfg and I've checked it with 'show run' again.
But now I have trouble with the mobile app, it's not registered to my home PLMN (O2). I think it is a SIM reader problem or my SIM card.
Have you another idea why the r gsm band not shown with 'show cell 1'?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

I'm not that familiar with the cell selection process, but I would guess it's possible that 'mobile' obeys the normal rules for cell selection and so maybe the gsm-r cell you see are 'barred' or required 'access class' that your sim doesn't have and so are rejected as potential cell. The sim also contains a list of forbidden PLMN that should not be considered at all so maybe the gsm-r network is listed there ...
You can probably see what's happening if you start a power scan and see if the network is scanned at all. (might want to redirect logs to a file for easier analysis)

hi karsten,
if the sim stores the last network, the selection process will only scan cells until the last network is found. you can switch network selection to manual. this should trigger a complete search. if not there is a vty-command "network search" (iirc) to trigger complete search again.
