But in terms of your phone radio, absolutely not. A few hundred feet from a cell tower my signal level is now -68 dbm with all 6 bars.

At home where I've had missed calls, delayed texts and VMs, I get anywhere from about -88 to -96 dbm. There's the proven example.

Well, yes and no. -50dBm is generally better than -100dBm, but the SNR is really what gives you signal quality.

Good to know. I'll be watching that number especially closely (though I would anyway) when I try the Alltel radio later on.

I only hope flashing back to a previous radio doesn't jinx anything. Anyone have an opinion on that? (Seems illogical that a subsequent flash should be any different from a previous one of the same firmware though.)
