Amber & Sarosh,

According to the GSM Standard, only TRX0 has to transmit constantly.
Secondary TRX's can transmit only when there is actual data to
transmit.

So if you want to see transmission on the TRX1 you should either:
1. have more than 6 active call legs (more than 3 acive calls), or
2. make TRX0 SDCCH only and leave TCH only on the TRX1 and make a call.

In either case you'll see that the transmission on TRX1 is not
continuous, unless you have all TCH's on TRX1 busy.
