Thanks for this input. I think this a limitation of the BS11 only,
I have read that there are some limitations related to the SDCCH/8
of the BS11:

  - only one SDCCH/8 per TRX
  - not allowed together with SDCCH/4 on BCCH-TRX

Maybe the BS11 does not have enough processing power to handle it ? Of
course it could be that the documentation is wrong and it would work, I
have not yet tried it.

Best regards,
  Dieter
