Sorry...Its actually the amount of "noise" on the channel.
The lower the number the better your phone can see the cell its connected tI did this in the exact same spot about 5 min apart from each other...
With the 3.37 radio I was getting between 8-14 Ec/Io
With the 3.35 radio i was getting like 19-24 which is much worse.
"Ec/Io (pronounced "ee-see over eye-not") is basically a measure of how well your phone can hear the tower over all the other traffic on the channel. (Don't forget, you are sharing the 1.25 MHz channel with many other users).
A reading near 0.0 is very good. You can find low readings late at night on weekdays when traffic is low. When the reading is high (-12.0 to -15.0), quality will drop and you may even lose the call."
