Just to avoid any duplicate of work as well: most of this is already done by cell_log (layer23/src/misc). It iterates over the whole

spectrum

and tries to get an Immediate Assignment by sending a RACH to every

cell.

It stores SI1-4, GPS position and the TA in a logfile, and using the gsmmap utility you can create a *.kml map of the calculated cell positions for Google Earth.

So what's missing is really only the PCAP support and a command line switch to turn off the "active" scanning by sending no RACHs.

hi steve,

exactly. almost everything is already there. there are some things that may need to be improved in my opinion:

- deactivating/activating the RACH request - altering maximum distance (gps) moving off the position of last power scan, before restarting scanning process. - multiple radio support for faster scanning and deeper scanning while moving. - selecting between the generic text format and PCAP. - option to wait some more time to receive more system informations than the mandatory 1..4

regards,
