In the 1x engineering screen, look for band class. If the band class is not listed as PCS, then make sure it says [10] in the brackets to the right. It slides left to right.

Sorry about the crappy shots, I tried my best...

 

This is what the screens look like when I'm in the part of my building where I had no problem receiving coverage before, but still deep inside.  Confirms PCS.  If I go onto the upper floors I get a great band 25 LTE signal.

This is what the screens look like when I'm in the part of my building where I had no service until a couple of months ago.  Could still be PCS, not sure how to tell.  If it is still PCS, maybe they tweaked the nearest tower a bit so the signal is better.  I'm not schooled in the engineering aspect of all of this...I can say that I took these screenshots in the bottom level of a two level parking garage.

No, that is indeed band class 10 CDMA1X 800.  The 22xxx SID is a dead giveaway.

Thanks AJ, I thought it might be CDMA1X 800 but I didn't know how to confirm it.  I knew something good was happening when "No Service" disappeared for good and my phone stopped roaming down in the garage.  A subterranean parking garage, by the way...

CDMA1X 800 -- the service you can take with you even when you are six feet under.

 

:P

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
