Re: At what reception level do you start missing calls?

Their is another setting you need to look at when it comes to signal. Look at your Ec/Io number, the lower the number the better. This number tells you how "clean" your signal is.

0 - 10db = great
11-15db = good
16 - 20db = fair
>21db = poor

I have been in areas where my power is about -100dbm & my Ec\Io is 10db or less have been able to make & hold calls no problem. Unlike the house I live in now which has the same power level, but the Ec\Io is over 20db and my calls break up &/or drop.
