Radio FAQ:
(thanks in part to r6danl over at xda-developers)

Code:
Q: Does my phone have to be unlocked in order to flash my radio?
A: - Yes. If you do not know how to unlock your phone, use the SEARCH feature.
There are plenty of threads with help on unlocking your phone.

Q: How do I find out what radio I'm currently running?
A: - You can find it under Start>Settings>System>Device Information.
This can also be found using ##786# after "Firmware Version"
  
Q: Can I use any radio for any carrier?
A: - Yes! You can mix and match all of these radios with different CDMA 
carriers. For instance I am currently under contract with Sprint but I'm
using a Verizon radio with absolutely no problems. Get it?

Q: Which radio is best for me?
A: - Too many variables come into play when it comes to your radio on your
phone. The BEST way to find out which radio is best for you is to flash it
and try it! Give it a couple of days and then try another. I know it's a 
P.I.T.A. but it is absolutely the very best way to figure out what is best 
for your phone.

Q: How can I view my signal levels?
A: - ##33284# is the DEBUG menu. If you are prompted for a password, 
enter 183729. Under here you should look at the following 3 sections 
(the closer to 0 you are, the better):
     Rx Power
     Rx Ec/Io
     Rx FER

Q: If I flash my radio, does it hard reset my phone?
A: - Absolutely NOT! It will simply soft reset with no loss of data.

Q: Why should I flash a new radio version on my phone?
A: - Increased reception reliability & increased battery life. It's simple.
The less roaming you do, the better your battery life.

Q: How do I flash my radio?
A: - The flashing process is IDENTICAL to the ROM flashing process.
      1. Download a radio RAR or ZIP file from below
      2. Extract the contents of the RAR or ZIP file
      3. Plug in your phone to your computer via USB and select ActivSync
      4. Execute the "ROMUpdateUtility" and follow the prompts
      5. Wait for reboot
      6. Done

Q: Will flashing another carrier's radio incur roaming (or any other) fees?
A: - No. The vendor that makes the radio actually makes no difference
whatsoever. What you're flashing is software that controls how the radio
acts, not changing the radio itself.  The actual radio is a piece of hardware 
the phone uses to communicate with the cellular towers.

Q: The radio on my phone isn't listed.  Can I extract it and post it here?
A: - There is currently no way to dump a radio from a phone.  The radios posted here 
were extracted from ROMs released by either the different carriers and/or HTC.
