In this example, we use a module available at https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm. As explained in this page, its installation can be performed thanks to PyBombs which should be already installed if you followed our [[UHD and GNURadio installation|installation guide]]. In you PyBombs directory, issue the following instruction:

sudo ./pybombs install gr-gsm

Once the GRC program is launched and configured on a GSM beacon frequency, decoded data is displayed on standard output as well as on a UDP socket. Wireshark can thus be used to dissect captured frames:
