I just perform two tests with the VZW 1.10 radio for 5 minutes each at 5 sec intervals. I'm in a small town 1x area.
#1 Untouched ROM update from
http://www.utstar.com/pcd/downloads/
Rx Power averaged -82.4 dbm
Rx Ec/Io averaged 15.75 db
#2 Helmi AKU 3.5 1.0.4
Rx Power averaged -81 dbm
Rx Ec/Io averaged 10.5 db
Before I went back to the HTC ROM, I had radio 1.41 loaded.
Same location, My house. No actual note taking test done but
this is what I recall from looking at it A LOT.
Rx Power averaged lower to mid -90's dbm
Rx Ec/Io averaged mid teens to lower 20's.
Of course, I don't really have a clue what this means

but I believe the lower the number the better, right?
