I agree with Slypher, I don't do CDMA either but I do run a Wireless Internet Provider company using Motorola Canopy so I look at RX and TX values everyday. It makes sense that if we widen the bandwidth by changing these numbers it will work better for some people and I would also guess that it will work better indoors than outside. Your RX signal is what the signal that your phone is receiving from the Cell tower, you don't change a radios RX power level you have what is called Receive sensitivity which is the min RX level the radio will operate. its pretty high on cell phones somewhere in the -100's.

what is probably happening is as the signal travels from the tower to your phone it is passing through objects (wall, trees, etc.) when this happens it distorts and changes the signal, so by telling the radio to use a wider bandwidth sometime you will get a better signal.

Where this is going to fail is if you find yourself in a situation where you have decent signal but end up next to another signal that your phone is now trying to use. My guess is your phone won't know what to do and drop calls and your signal strength will get very wacky.

For those who set it to a value of 1, i would be curious how your phone acts when you are around a 900Mhz coreless phone or the standing next to the microwave when its running, depending on what band your cell company is using.
