I'm happy to hear this.  The problem sort-of is:  Do you have the kind of
measurement equipment to facilitate that kind of development?  In order to
e.g. test the VCO/PLL / Transmit code, you would have to have something like
a spectrum analyzer or a scope that can go up to at least the GSM900, preferrably
up into 1800/1900 MHz.

If you want to test the receive side, something like a GSM signal generator (HP
8922, Racal 6103, R&S CMD 55) would be great, as they can transmit a well-known
bit pattern (all-1, all-0, 101010101010 and the like) on a configured ARFCN,
then configure the RF Transceiver (MT61400 and you can watch the analog
baseband signal on an oscilloscope and determine if it mathes the expected singal.

Regards,
	Harald
