First:

I advise you to search online the frequencies allocated for your area of lte channel.

Quick usage instructions:

  • Search for LTE carriers within a common LTE frequency range used in the US:

CellSearch --freq-start 715e6 --freq-end 768e6

  • Start tracking LTE cells on frequency 739 MHz:

LTE-Tracker -f 739000000
