The first set of numbers is atrocious.

Lately in my basement apartment (usually my worst-signal area) I get around -80 dbm RX power, and my S/N is about 8, using the Telus radio. That's not the world's best, but it's a hell of a lot better than the numbers I got with the stock Alltel radio.

I'm 98% positive you can find a radio that provides you better results. I mean, I don't know, maybe you got those figures while testing from the bottom of your iron-clad Bat Cave and whatever you have is the best, but I doubt it. That S/N is ****ed.

The second set is ok, but I wouldn't consider it "perfect signal." You can do better, get your hands on a few other radios and see what you can come up with.

Thanks for the opinion - however I have already flashed to the latest Sprint radio, so your advice leads me to suspect (though I can't be sure) that I may in fact have a HARDWARE problem. I'd like to get more takes on this though.

Sprint coverage enters something of a hole in my residence, but in my area overall it is decent to very good. Wish I had another TP device to compare to.
