Greetings group members
Given the huge price of the Lime SDR, I was trying to find alternative methods for setting up an AMPS test rig.
I found this command that operated half of the time rx and half tx, but it was of no use.
At one point I saw "Signal received" on the console but it did not show further signs of life.
My questions are, please:
- Is there any future with this approach?
- if nor, woukd be possible to use the hackrf to transmit, and a RTL-SDR to receive?
Thank you very much
