The exact answer seems to be a little allusive here. I have a replacement now (lol@my bricking adventure) and the stock ROM is kicking. The SS is usually one bar short of max in my house; in fact, I've never had a Sprint phone/ROM/Radio combination perform so well here in my sunny coffin.

A point about the AirRave. Yeah, it's a great add-on if it works for you. My only problem with it is that it will only "switch" from AirRave to Tower. This means that if you're on a call over the AirRave and move into Tower range, it will switch to the Tower; but not the other way. So when I used the AR, I had to make sure I didn't go too close to the front of my house, or it would switch over & I couldn't leave the front wall of my house or the call would drop.

Hell, here was my solution: I snagged a bluetooth enabled wireless phone system & set it up where my Sprint signal was great. I BT-connect my TP2 with the base station & then I can receive and make Sprint calls via the wireless handset. The system also allows you to connect a land/VOIP line. FTFW!!
