You'll need an antenna that works for exactly the band that you want to observe, but if you happen to have one, you can receive a known signal. For example, if you're in possession of a 900 MHz band antenna, you might look for 2G signals. If you have an antenna that works around 100 MHz, look for broadcast FM radio.
For TX it's a bit harder, because you really shouldn't be transmitting without checking your local laws. But the idea is the same: make a signal that you have a device that can pick that up – for example, build an FM transmitter, or a DRM transmitter, and tune your radio to that frequency. Again, check local legislation. As a tool that contains everything you need on a software side to get started, I do recommend you start with a live bootable USB drive. Less hassle. There's one from the GNU Radio community[1] that comes with all the USRP drivers (UHD) that you'll need, and example applications. If you plan to use GNU Radio further on, read the tutorials[2].

How can i test this? I am new to B200/SDRs and to programming too? Thanking you Rensi
