I applied external 10MHz reference, the best I had at hand.  
Now kalibrate says I have about 200Hz offset at 900MHz and 420Hz at  
1800MHz, but phones still do not want to register to OpenBTS. A few  
phones that did not see the network before, are now seeing the network.  
They see the network, but they say “no access” when I try to register. I  
configured OpenBTS to allow everything to register with no restrictions.  
The same computer was working with B100 a few weeks ago without any  
problems. I now have a few B200 but none of them works. They all behave  
the same way.

Is there a point in going for a more accurate clock ? I am already below  
500Hz at 1900MHz.  
Did anyone get OpenBTS working on B200 ?  
In the log I see regular “Sample buffer: Overrun”. Can I do anything  
about it?  
There is no sign in OpenBTS log that a phone is trying to register.

At this point, this is very-likely a question for the OpenBTS forums,  
not here.
