Hi @jackattack21,
Still when I run grgsm_scanner I get no output, just 00000000
These are not zeros 0 but a capital O characters and indicates Overflows
Any ideas!??
Most probably the RPi4 is not powerful enough to run grgsm_scanner
with the default 2e6
sample rate and grgsm_livemon
with the GUI.
Interesting. Thanks for the insight. Do you think I can lower the sample rate and be ok? There's a number of users who have success with the rpi4 - this was the post I followed: https://github.com/gordonwelchman/rpi_imsi_catcher
i also saw a similar issue with my Ubuntu install. All O's and that was on a dell xps developer edition
Bumping this in desperation =(

Yes, you can try different values.

Better ask them how to properly install, configure and optimize gr-gsm
for rpi4. Also read older discussions here in the github issues or in the mailing list, for sure there were few threads about rpi.

That's strange! There was something wrong with your installation.
I cant for the life of me get this thing to work - multiple distros, multiple tutorials, multiple SDRs, same story.
example attached... ugh
Same issue when I run a more powerful system that can handle greater sample rate also.
Any ideas given the new info?

Do you have a suitable antenna attached to your SDR devices? In case you are inside of a big building try moving near a window or outside if possible. Have you tried different gain
settings and why you did you choose -g 40
?
Are you sure that there are GSM cells on these frequencies? kal
is known to report false positives.
HackRF has a big DC offset that can negatively affect some of the gr-gsm's tools.
Hey all - I have been having some issues getting things going. I've worked through a number of the different repos that reference different dependencies and such, but many were throwing errors (unbuntu 20.04 mostly). I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was.
Anyways, I now have a system running on a raspberry pi 4, and gr-gsm is running well with no errors.
Still when I run grgsm_scanner I get no output, just 00000000
however when I run kal -s GSM850 I am able to identify nearby BTS's their relative frequencies. 849.6 seems to be the highest power.
With that, I then try: grgsm_livemon -f 849.6 -g 40
and I again just see 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
My spectrum chart does show peaks at the GSM freqs, but I am not identifying any packets.
Any ideas!??
