Thank you, you know what I did not know that.

The best way to see your true signal strength is through fieldtest.exe in the windows folder of device memory. Use total commander to go to find fieldtest.exe This will give your real results so you can compare them to other roms/radios etc. Or you can view this thread thanks to ajm144k. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=71409 also thanks u217946 for posting the thread!
He did the comparisions through fieldtest and posted the results. In the end. most of the radios performed fairly even but as always there are many factors to the performance like location. Also some roms have 4 signal bar meters instead of 7 bar so that plays into what you see displayed on the screen. Here a snapshot from fieldtest.
