Netmonitor and gsm channel

[Microemission]

I need to know if with netmonitor i can check which channel of the cell is the phone connected to or more specifically which is the RF frequency it's getting its signal from (900 or 1800Mhz), with a 6210 or 3210.
It's for a experiment for Electromagnetism class
If yes, which page and parameter of netmonitor should i check?

You have here link for netmonitor manual.

on page 01 you have channel-rx-tx power... or page 09 cell-channell.
there is an formula to calc channell to frq....

Tkx Guciano!!
Still need help though.
Which command should i execute to save a value to pos number 33 of the sim card to do the bts test, as it is described below and on the netmonitor manual under the test 17 menu ?


"save (change) desired channel number on position number 33 of the SIM card's phone book in decimal format (not in phone's memory!) - if you save '0' there, this test will be inactive! However, this step is not necessary, if this number was stored there earlier - you can check this with 33# code). Remember, that phone checks used format. Here are some examples of correct entries: "1", "700". "

you have to use an sw or phone that know to save/read to an specific sim location...( if you don't have such sw just erase all SIM nr and save one by one 32 nr, next one will be saved on location 33)

Normally you don't have to use BTS test for wat you need in you'r experiment until you want to force the phone to use an specific channel ( for this you have to know allso if that channel is used in you'r location - I don't think you will get this info from net op). If is not used you will have no network...

No , i don't really need to do the bts test i just wanted to know if the phone is picking up a 900Mhz or a 1800Mhz signal. From menu 1 i can see that i'm connect to channel 48 right now, it hops sometimes (probably to match the best signal ), but can't draw any conclusion as which gsm band is the phone really using and that is what i really wanted to know, but i can't see any other test that will tell me that

GSM 900 Mhz channels are from 1 to 128
GSM 1800 Mhz channels are from 512 to 885

you are on 900 Mhz band

Tkx a bunch for all Guciano !!

And here is formula for calc TX freq:
Lower band frequency + 0.2 MHz (channel spacing) x n (channel number).
Thus, for GSM 900, for example:
f = 935 MHz + 0.2 MHz x n

you'r welcome
