Shipped radio specs (Sprint 1.03.15F)
1x > Rx Power -96 to -100+ / Rx ec/io 14 to 21
HDR> Rx Sig Str. 97 / Rx Power -86

Verizon 1.03.09V
1x> Rx Power -88 to -92 / Rx ec/io 10 to 11
HDR> Rx Sig. Str. 85 / Rx Power -84

Telus 1.04.05V
1x> Rx Power -87 to -92 / Rx ec/io 17+
HDR> Rx Sig. Str. 93/ Rx Power -86

Alltel 1.03.13F
1x> Rx Power -99 to -102 /Rx ec/io 12 to 25
HDR> Rx Sig Str. 94/ Rx Power -90

Sprint 1.11.00F
1x> Rx Power 99 /Rx ec/io 15
HDR> Rx Sig. Str. 90/ Rx Power -88

In conclusion, the only noticeable improvement was with the Verizon radio. I will stick with that for a while and see if it makes a difference.

If I am not reporting the right values PLEASE let me know. Also let me know if there are any other values I should be taking into account.

Hopefully this helps someone.

Could you run some more tests with some of the newest radios.
I am curious to see how they perform.
Verizon 1.03.09 has been the best one for me so far.
Thanks.

You need to realize (something said often in these threads) that no one radio works best for everyone, not necessarily even in the same city or state. It's worth testing many of them yourself before deciding which one's best for you.

Well, so far the Verizon radio is working quite well for me. I have done pretty extensive testing throughout my travels in the Los Angeles area and found the Verizon radio(1.03.09V) to be superior to my original Sprint shipped radio.

As to how much extensive testing I will do beyond the information I have already provided, well, I will probably keep the radio I have for a while. I want to see how the battery performs over a longer period of time.
