This help
--config [~/]<path to config file>
Give a config file to use. If it starts with '~/', path is at home dir. Each line
in config file is one option, '-' or '--' must not be given! Default:
'~/.osmocom/analog/imts.conf'
--no-config
Even if a config file exists, don't use it.
-v --verbose <level> | <level>,<category>[,<category>[,...]] | list

debug level (default = '3') Verbose level+category: level digit followed by one or
more categories -> If no category is specified, all categories are selected

--call-buffer <ms>

-x --osmocc-cross

control channel and two voice channels. Alternatively use one combined
control+voice channel and one voice channels.
-o --osmocc-sock

--cc "<osmo-cc arg>" [--cc ...]
Pass arguments to Osmo-CC endpoint. Use '-cc help' for description.
--no-l16

-r --realtime <prio>
Set prio: 0 to disable, 99 for maximum (default = 0)
--fast-math
Use fast math approximation for slow CPU / ARM based systems.
--write-rx-wave <file>
Write received audio to given wave file.
--write-tx-wave <file>

--read-tx-wave <file>
Replace transmitted audio by given wave file.
--limesdr

SDR options:
--sdr-soapy

--sdr-channel <channel #>
Give channel number for multi channel SDR device (default = 0)
--sdr-device-args <args>
--sdr-stream-args <args>
--sdr-tune-args <args>
Optional SDR device arguments, separated by comma e.g. --sdr-device-args
<key>=<value>[,<key>=<value>[,...]]
--sdr-samplerate <samplerate>
Sample rate to use with SDR. By default it equals the regular sample rate.
--sdr-lo-offset <Hz>
Give frequency offset in Hz to move the local oscillator away from the target
frequency. (default = -1000000)
--sdr-bandwidth <bandwidth>
Give IF filter bandwidth to use. If not, sample rate is used.
--sdr-rx-antenna <name>
SDR device's RX antenna name, use 'list' to get a list
--sdr-tx-antenna <name>

--sdr-timestamps 1 | 0
Use TX timestamps on UHD device. (default = 1)
Network specific options:
-S --squelch <dB> | auto
Use given RF level to detect loss of signal. When the signal gets lost and stays
below this level, the connection is released. Use 'auto' to do automatic noise
floor calibration to detect loss. Only works with SDR! (disabled by default)
-P --push-to-talk
Allow push-to-talk operation for IMTS mode. (MTS always uses it.) This adds extra
delay to received audio, to eliminate noise when the transmitter of the phone is
turned off. Also this disables release on loss of RF signal. (Squelch is required
for this to operate.)
-F --fast-seize <delay in ms>
To compensate audio processing latency, give delay when to respond, after detection
of Guard tone from mobile phone. Run software in loopback mode '-l 2' to measure
round trip delay. Subtract delay from 350 ms. If the phone has different Guard
tone length, subtract from that value.
-D --detector-test <idle length> <seize length> <silence length>
Transmit detector test signal, to adjust decoder inside mobile phone. Give length
of idle / seize and silence in seconds. Listen to it with a radio receiver. To
exclude an element, set its length to '0'. Example: '-D 0.5 0.5 0' plays
alternating idle/seize tone.
MTS mode options
-M --mts
Run base station in MTS mode, rather than in IMTS mode.
-O --operator <number>
Give number to dial when mobile station initiated a call in MTS mode. Because
there is no dial on the mobile phone, operator assistance is required to complete
the call. By default, the operator '010' is dialed.
-D --detector-test <600 Hz length> <1500 Hz length> <silence length>
Transmit detector test signal, to adjust decoder inside MTS phone. Give length of
600/1500 Hz and silence in seconds. Listen to it with a radio receiver. To exclude
an element, set its length to '0'. Example: '-D 0.5 0.5 0' plays alternating
600/1500 Hz tone.
station_id: Give 5, 7 or 10 digits of station ID,
so you don't need to enter it for every start of this application. Give 5 digits
for MTS number format. Give 7 digits for IMTS number format. Give 10 digits for
IMTS number (digits 4..6 will br removed). You may use '1xxxxxxxxxx' as prefix.
You may use '+1xxxxxxxxxx' as prefix.
Press digits '0'..'9' and then 'd' key to dial towards mobile station. Press 'h' key to
hangup. Press 'w' key to toggle display of RX wave form. Press 'c' key to toggle display
of channel status. Press 'm' key to toggle display of measurement value. Press 'q' key
to toggle display of RX I/Q vector. Press 's' key to toggle display of RX spectrum.
Press 'b' key to remove DC level.
