Seemed to make my Sprint PPC6700 have a few less bars. I'll leave it be for a few days and see what happens. I updated my PRL earlier too.

Me too, not just more bars, but on the spots (at home) that I know I usually got no signal and dropped calls, right now I got at least 2 bars and phone call never drop anymore.
Thanks for the radio rom....

working like a charm
Again, thanks for the upgrade. I live in an area with fairly strong signal strength, but now I rarely get any fluctuation in signal (always max bars) or btwn EVDO and 1X (stays on EVDO). Excellent work Phoenix!

I haven't seen anybody try testing the new radio the way I have just yet... It literally makes my phone unusable while travelling. If you are in an EVDO area and can get pretty easily to a 1x area you can test it too. Just tether your phone to a notebook computer (alt. you may just be able to stream some music on the handset for a while) and drive out of the EV service area... It usually takes about 20 minutes of my phone streaming data on EV to die, but as I leave the EV zone it hard locks just the internet connection on the device. No data will transfer, the data arrows go grey and the phone refuses to manually halt the connection. This requires a soft reset to correct. Now if I stay in EV all day in the same spot, it may be different - but I drive a semi for a living and its not too often I hang out in one place for too long.
For those of you just chillin' in one spot, this upgrade is probably good for you. Once you travel though I think you will find the resets get annoying after a while. I have tried this radio rev. with 3 different ROM's now and get the same results each time. (Note - I also noticed instead of just getting these 'gains' in performance, driving through Ohio yesterday it actually degraded performance severely in quite a few spots... this upgrade is a huge YMMV...)

It's odd - this update seems to have tons of issues for some, and be the best thing since sliced bread for others.
I drove from San Jose to LA and back post update using Windows Live Search + BT GPS for directions for 10+ hours. The phone flipped between EV and 1x about 20 times, hopped towers there and back, even (when going thru the mountains) lost signal and regained it, all the while "connected" and streaming data, and it performed flawlessly with the latest radio rom and PRL. Did you update your PRL, and what is your PRI? Are your running a 3.x ROM?

PRL: 20229
PRI: 1.20_003 Currently running a 1.04 custom kitchen, but have tried several others too - including the stock 2.2 from Sprint... same issue every time.
