How strong is your signal?  The initial sync of OsmocomBB is (as far as
I remmber) setting the AGC to an expected signal level of -85 dBm.  If
"your base station" (I assume it is not a public network, but a base
station you have on your desk / in your lab) is next to your phone, you
might have -45dBM or even more.  This will clip the signal.

Unfortunately in all the 6 years of OsmocomBB, nobody voluntered to
address any of those long-standing issues or lacking features.  It
continues to sadden me that despite all the efforts that people like
Dieter, Andreas, Sylvain and I have put into implementing the first >=
80%, the rest of the community and user base has not managed to address
those remaining parts.  The AGC handling for initial sync is one part,
and the re-sync to neighbor cells (as requirement for hand-over) is
another of those key parts.

Regards,
	Harald
