I am scanning the frequencies of BTSs (Base station) around me with my RTL-SDR device. I found a few. For example the frequency of one was 958.4 MHz. After three days later I scanned again but this time it disappeared. There was no BTS with frequency 958.4MHz instead I found frequencies completely different.

Can the frequency of the base station change? Or how did I get a completely different result from the scan I made three days ago.

Yes, that can, as you observed. What is your question? – Marcus Müller Aug 11 '18 at 19:08
Is this normal? Or am I making a mistake? – abdllhcay Aug 12 '18 at 03:18
normal. Base stations switch on and off to save energy in low-demand situations, and frequencies are usually licensed per larger areas than cells, so frequency changes can happen. – Marcus Müller Aug 12 '18 at 09:02
