I think the front of the T-shirt should read "FREE GSM" with the logo of a SIM card with little feet running. The back should have the Fairwaves Logo / URL. "FREE GSM" because it's a pun: free of cost thanks to open source, and free it from the shackles of the evil big black box infrastructure vendors.
In terms of color, if a deep dark midnight blue (like Nike's "Obsidian" blue) would be awesome. This is for selfish reasons since all my gym wear is Obsidian blue :-) Oh and some T-shirts in European XXL or American XL would be nice for me.

Hi all,
We're thinking about making T-shirts with open-source telecom. I've
posted a call for ideas in my OpenBTS blog - please contribute.
Telecom needs more openness and you could help us promote this!
http://openbts.chemeris.ru/2012/10/reklama-open-source-telecom/
We plan to give them for free to the first 10-20 UmTRX buyers. Then
you'll be able to buy them from our web-shop or from one of our
friends and distributors.
If you proposal gets printed, you'll get a free T-shirt as well.
PS If you know a good online T-shirt printing service in US or Europe
- drop me a line. I've never done this in US/Europe before.

Hi Srdjan,
We're looking into re-purposing UmTRX for LTE and there a few things which
we need to understand better.
1. Is it possible to support 15MHz and 20MHz LTE channel bandwidths? To
achieve this we at least need to sample at 23.04Msps and 30.72Msps
respectively. LMS6002D datasheet specifies the maximum I/Q samplerate of
14Msps, which is not enough. But at the same time, datasheet claims that
ADC and DAC are specified up to 50Msps. How does this fits together?
2. Do you have any experience what maximum output power we could achieve
with LMS and proper amplifiers, while still staying in the bounds of the
LTE Standard? What would be the limiting factor for the further power
increase?
3. Is there any issues using TDD mode in LMS6002D? We've been using onnly
FDD mode so far and it would be great to know what issues could we expect
when switching to TDD mode.

Hi All,
I ported UmTRX project to the new UmTRX v2 board. Now you can compile FPGA
project for UmTRX v2 board with "make UmTRXv2" command from fairwaves/umtrx
branch.
Now, my next goal is to get a working second transmission channel in fpga
project.
Regards,
Andrew Karpenkov
Andrey Sviyazov, this question is probably for you,
IIRC, both nanoBTS and SysmoBTS have separate antennas for Rx andTx and do
not use duplexers. Do we need duplexer for UmTRXv2 if it operates in the
low power mode, without an additional PA/LNA?

Hi,
I'm having a problem while trying to do a LPF Bandwidth tuning as described in a Programming and Calibration guide page 40, figure 4.5 and on https://github.com/chemeris/UHD-Fairwaves/blob/fairwaves/umtrx/host/utils/u…. Currently it seems to always fail when it's trying to find the VCOCAP value. I'm only getting Low printed before it fails. I was wondering why it takes a 320MHz frequency, because it's not described anywhere in the documents, could I try to do a bandwidth tuning with some other frequency as well? I'm running my code in a following order (http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/umtrx/2012-July/000075.html),
Example setup for ARFCN 925:
Initialization and auto-calibration:
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-init
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-tx-enable 1
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-rx-enable 1
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --pll-ref-clock 26e6 --lpf-bandwidth-code
0x0f --lms-auto-calibration
RX LNA and RXVGA2 selection and gain control
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x75 --data 0xf0
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x65 --data 10
TX LPF control
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x34 --data 0x3e
LO leakage cancellation (calibration data values may vary)
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x42 --data 0x67
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x43 --data 0x89
TX/RX PLL charge pump current
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x16 --data 0x93
Tuning
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-rx-pll-tune 925.2e6
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-tx-pll-tune 880.2e6
TXVGA2 gain to max and enable PA
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x45 --data 0xc8
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-pa-on 2
Andrey, Jean-Samuel,
I wanted to check pricing for ET1011C2-CI-DT - 1GbE PHY chip we use
and I haven't found it neither in DigiKey, nor at Mouser. At Arrow
they are "Call for Quote":
http://components.arrow.com/part/search/ET1011C2
Do you know what happened to this chip? Is there any pin-to-pin
replacements or could we buy enough of those chips from some other
source?

Alexander is visiting Boston after the Open Hardware Summit last week in
NYC. We powered up the umTRXv2 for the first time yesterday afternoon and
immediately captured a GSM signal on the Signal Hound after launching
OpenBTS. Echo Test with the test handset worked like a charm.
Congratulations to the Fairwaves team!

All,
I've put together a short step-by-step on how to build FPGA image for
UmTRX and how to flash it over Ethernet or a JTAG cable. Feel free to
amend/comment on it:

Hi all,
I've just pushed changes to the 'fairwaves/umtrx' branch which allow
UHD to actually control UmTRX tuning. This means that now we don't
need to calculate Rx/Tx frequencies by hands to run OpenBTS - it will
tune automatically. I've updated the wiki to reflect those changes as
well.
Changes are based on the Sergey Kostanbaev's work to move all our
LMS6002 control from umtrx_lms.py script to the UHD. The next most
important things to get working there are:
* gains control aka VGA1/VGA2 in LMS
* antenna control aka PA/LNA selection in LMS
* bandwidth filtering control aka LPF filters in LMS
* automatic calibration utilities
