GSM doesn't hope _inside_ a channel, it hops between channels.

And the main channel "C0" that contains the FCCH bursts that kalibrate
locks to, doesn't hop at all, it's required by spec to be a continuous
carrier.


OTOH, the OP said he was in the US and used EGSM band option ... huh
... I thought the US was GSM-800 ?!?


Cheers,
