Thank you for your reply Eric.
I asked this question in gnu radio mailing list because may be the problem is the hardware.

I could see there was a problem with the synchronization. Sometimes, some gsm messages are missed due to a synchronization lost. Besides, i think it can be enhanced by software. Do you think the hardware (USRP) is not the problem?

Thanks. Cheers,

Jose

Jose,

The airprobe list is most likely a better place to ask this question.
AFAIK the people who wrote gsm_scan.py are not on this list, or if
they are they have been very quiet.
