[MACE]

I'm sorry to have been MIA a few days, had a rough beginning to the week, but I am still planning on writing that guide when I get the chance. In the meantime, that quote that Strra has graciously linked to in post 4 has most of the info in it you will need to get started.

Something to add that might reduce a few headaches:

Many devices do not poll the tower very often for the HDR connection if it is not active, this is typically not *as* much of an issue with 1x-RTT since it will poll constantly, based on your slot cycle setting, this is what checks if you have an incoming call.
However, many devices, the Touch Pro being one of them, poll HDR rather infrequently if you do not have an open Data session.
What this means is, even if you set your update interval in FieldTrial to 1 second, the *FieldTrial* program will refresh every second, but it will not be getting new data from the device more than every 5-10 seconds or so (varies with device, and power saving settings)
If you want more accurate readings, especially if you are moving, you need to open your data connection. (connect in comm manager, or run an app that auto connects)
This is good enough for most cursory testing. If you want truly accurate updates, you will need to start an actual live data stream, and keep it open while you test. I typically just ping a local server, or the ppp host for this purpose, which also gives you the benefit of seeing how stable your latency is as well.
