Hi Tom,

Can you please elaborate a little "how can i drive the seperate RF paths as
two TRX units controlled by one osmobts instance?"

i have tried setting the configuration file for osmobts-trx (osmo-bts.cfg)
by adding 'trx 1' section at the end, but i got an error when starting
osmobts. i was not able to find any documentation regarding this setup. 

further fairwaves umtrx hardware supports 2 seperate RF paths, does that
mean that i can use fairwaves umtrx hardware with single osmo-trx and single
osmobts instance?

thanks,
Arif
