[Openbts-discuss] For fun - a BTS audible power regulation

[Alexander C. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Just for engineering fun. You power on your BTS and it starts screaming
like an alarm buzzer. For a second you think it is going to blow up and
what you've done wrong. Only a few seconds later you get a relief,
realizing that it's not your BTS - it's a talking clock staying next to it
who is producing the sound. Everyone knows that if you put your phone close
to a speaker, it'll "chirp" when you receive an SMS or a call. Same thing
here, but BTS transmits constantly (except guard bits between bursts of
course), so the sound is also constant. Now you know how much to attenuate
your BTS when working with it- enough to make your ears happy.

(don't forget to have sound turned on)
