Well, they also have a optional GSM front end board that has an IF.
However it has a very narrow IF filter since the goal was to about
in-band interference from neighbour channels ...

The filters can be set to 28 MHz wide and the LMS has analog I/Q debug
outputs, so yes you could get the analog out.
But it's I/Q not a single signals so you'll need two fast ADC to get
it digitized.
OTOH why wouldn't you just use the ADC in the LMS ? They're clocked at
26 Mhz (or could even be fed higher frequency) and so you should be
able to get the whole 25 MHz of P-GSM band.
Cheers,
Sylvain
