Hello all!

I am running the maint-3.10 branch from bkerle's repository. I had to use that instead of  maint-3.10_with_multiarfcn since it wasn't accepting the --args parameters for some reason.

I am running this command:
grgsm_livemon --args="uhd,subdev=A:B,antenna=RX2" -f 1833.0M -g 60

I have tried with several different frequencies, both on the 900 band and the 1800 band and the reception looks good with at least 15dB SNR.

I get decoding in the terminal:
 25 06 21 00 05 f4 fe c1 b9 da 23 4c 0b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b
 25 06 21 20 05 f4 20 ea 9f 2a 2b 4c 0b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b
 15 06 21 00 01 f0 2b 4c 0b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b
 4d 06 24 a0 1d fc d1 ec 59 f5 05 d2 5b f5 4d c6 29 f7 92 70 d3 00 0b
 25 06 21 20 05 f4 3c fa f6 31 2b 4c 0b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b
 41 06 21 20 05 f4 25 e5 da c8 17 05 f4 ca c5 02 62 2f 4c 0b 2b 2b 2b

 
But I get no packets in Wireshark when running this:
sudo wireshark -k -f udp -Y gsmtap -i lo

I have played around with the ppm quite a bit but it makes no difference. Have tested within a range of -100 to 100 with no success. I got the frequencies from running grgsm_scanner.
I get the normal UDP packages in Wireshark but nothing when filtering for gsmtap packages. The stream of data is constant in the terminal.

  • Ubuntu 22.04, fairly fresh install
  • GNU Radio 3.10.1.11

Any ideas?

If anyone comes across this same problem they might want to know that the default port for gsmtap packets in Wireshark is 4729 and the default in the version of gr-gsm that I listed previously is 4730 so I had to use this command instead to make it work:

grgsm_livemon --args="uhd,subdev=A:B,antenna=RX2" -f 1833.0M -g 60 --collectorport 4729

Best of luck!
