Hello Sandi and Neels,

@Neels: :-) \o thanks.

@Sandi:
Thank you for the idea. I have changed the attenuation to oml, and I could observe the following:
All Qcomm based devices now see the network and with a bit of luck they could register: Xiaomi Mi5, Samsung A90 5G, iPhone X.
However any Exynos based device (S6, S7, S8) simply refuses to even detect the network. Any time I put in a sysmocom SIM in a Qcomm based device it happily goes on the new network. On the other hand if the same SIM card is plugged into an Exynos device it shows No service and even with manual search it cannot detect the network.

I assume with other radio hardware (e.g. umTRX) there are no issues with Exynos devices, so it is most probably the USRP not being good enough I think.

However if anybody has any other ideas I’d still be happy to get any feedback and try things out :).

Cheers,

Domi
