You can tell the "USRP source" block to tune to a specific frequency on a specific time with a "GNU Radio message passing" message. That would be how I'd recommend to implement a scanner. They're also used for pushing other kinds of data around, yes :) Best regards, Marcus On 09.02.2016 00:13,

Hi Marcus, I was reading your reply. I had implemented a similar system but on a different band (TV). I did not understand this section of your reply. If you actually want to retune (e.g. because your device bandwidth is > smaller than the Downlink you want to find unused channels in, or > becaus

Hi Anderson, Yes, that is possible. Detection purely based on power should be pretty simple; now, you're using "uhd_fft.py", which indicates you're using an Ettus USRP; these devices often are capable of capturing *all* of the GSM downlink in a specific Band (e.g. EGSM900) at once (that only being

Good afternoon everyone. I'm starting in radio frequency. Making analysis of spectra using uhd_fft.py in search of a channel (ARFCN) not used by the operator (GSM), one doubts arose: is it possible to automate this process? A script, library, etc. running a scan on a GSM frequencies of range and fi
