We'll take a look at the Ettus Research N210 software programmable radio (or Universal Software Radio Peripheral - USRP) and set up a complete GSM cell "base station" using OpenBTS. We'll also use the same radio to scan a wide frequency range and listen to FM radio using GNURadio. The Ettus Research N210 is available from ettus.com for roughly $2,700 including the board (WBX) and antenna setup I'm using in this video.
