I found this today in Lenexa, KS.   Is it the 3rd Carrier for Band 41?

 

UARFCN 41374

Yep, third carrier. I found the third carrier online here in Springfield, MO this weekend, and it went live in St. Louis sometime last week as well.

 

Channels here are: 39874 / 40072 / 40270

Sprint's B41 holdings in Baton Rouge include BRS1, BRS2, E1-E4, F1-F4, and H1-H3. That gives them a 6 MHz orphan block (2496-2502), a 12 MHz contiguous chunk (2602-2614), and a 55.5 MHz contiguous chunk (2618-2673.5).

 

FCC records show a new, "Special Temporary" license, WQYL886, has been granted for the K block (filed as the "old" F2 block under the pre-transition band plan). This bridges the gap between the 12 MHz and 55.5 MHz chunks for a total of 71.5 MHz contiguous.

 

The first B41 carrier in Baton Rouge moved to new center of 40913 (2622.3 MHz). Based on the previous center spacing of 19.8 MHz, I expect the second and third carriers to now sit at 41111 (2642.1 MHz) and 41309 (2661.9 MHz) respectively, leaving 10 MHz free at the lower end and enough for a guard at the high end.

When are smaller carrier like Appalchian uses B12 does that means less if any B12 for at&t or Tmobile?

B12 is split into 3 6MHz FDD blocks, the A block (728-734/698-704), the B block (734-740/704-710) and the C block (740-746/710-716). If Appalachian is running a 10x10 B12 LTE carrier, that means they must own at least two blocks. The EARFCN, 5120, equates to center frequencies of 740/710 MHz, suggesting that they own the B and C blocks. This means only the A block is left over for either AT&T or T-Mobile, so in short, yes, Appalachian using B12 means less B12 for everyone else.

I think this is the first second band 25 carrier in the ABQ market. Need an android to confirm.

That's a second carrier. UARFCN (should be EARFCN) is one of the only remaining values in Field Test that is consistently accurate.

Spent some quality time watching the Red Sox this weekend, took some sneak peeks at the latest SignalCheck beta and discovered 4 new sectors and EARFCNs I didn't have noted (see below). I'm guessing B41 Mini-Macros are deployed at Fenway with more sectors than usual? Or is it something else?

High capacity site with more than mini macros per 3 sectors. Ie 6 mini macros feeding 3 antennas.

Four carriers support lilotimz. Need to see strongest lat long. Of course photos of tower would be best. Return trip required. ☺

Look at this further today, the GCI sector is not tied to carrier.  Instead they are very much like Triband Antennas where 09, 0A, 0B floats currently between second and third carrier.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
