Mobile phone to act as RF frequency sesnor and detector

[Winston Ojenge]

Hi Andreas.
Much appreciation, but one more question. Can OsmocomBB code recognize
any other signals which are non-GSM in the neighborhood of the c123,
for instance, signals generated by radio/TV receivers? How can it be
made to recognize them?
