I was wondering if anyone had any info on Mount Vernon, service has been horrible there for a while now.

Work is being done around there. We need eyes on the ground though to see what equipment is at the sites.

 

Today's post has been brought to you by Sprint, the letters GN and the number 2.

Yeah work is always being done with no improvement whatsoever.  I'm going to be in Fredericktown on Friday so i will swing by that tower and the main Mount Vernon tower and see whats going on.

 

Thanks.

Folks if you have EVER considered becoming a Premier Sponsor this is NOW THE TIME. Check out the news from Robert (S4GRU):

 

BOMBSHELL!!!  One of our Clearwire sources just really came through.  An entire list of Clearwire sites nationwide, including all the sites slated for Phase 1.  I am creating the map now for Premier Sponsors!

 

Robert

 

True to his word he just released a map to us. I'm going to be making a detailed map and spreadsheet for Columbus, but it will be restricted to Premier Sponsors.

 

Hey, I'm giving away $50 in my contest!!! Time to win!

 

Twist my arm - I'm premier now.  Guys, it's totally worth the loot if you are close to reaching $100 donations.  Pretty cool map - you'll be excited once you see it. 

 

Also Robert is running a special this week too:

This is a great time to become a Premier Sponsor. If you are a regular Sponsor and considering an upgrade to Premier, you can receive a $25 discount if you upgrade to Premier by Sunday, September 22nd. So if you are only $50 away from reaching the Premier level, it would only cost you $25 now.

 

With this deal being in place. I'm ending my contest early!!! If you're leading in my contest as of 11AM EST on THIS SUNDAY you'll receive the $50 Donation!!!! That means you only have to donate a total of $25 to become a Premier Sponsor. That's a $75 Savings. $75 Peeps! Get out there and start hunting!!!

Your airave SID NID is higher? Make sure the 1x channel number your airave is parked on is in the ACQ record for your airave SID NID combo otherwise it will skip right over it and hit 800smr.

 

Oooook getting around to this. My airave is on SID 4418 NID 501. In the system records of your PRL 501, entry 509 references ACQ index 14. I look at ACQ index 14 and see the channels scanned. My airave is parked on channel 1150 which is not scanned in ACQ index 14 but a couple other indexes. I added 1150 to index 14. Because I want to prefer 800 over PCS when I'm out of range of my airave, I programmed my airave into system record 494, cloned the info from entry 509 and assigned it as new, then record 495 as same. In my head, my phone will prefer the airave, then 800, then PCS. Now that channel 1150 is in my ACQ index, it should connect to it easier than it has been.

 

Yes?

Looks good! If it doesn't work two other things. Set the airave as more priority and/or put the 1150 first or make an ACQ record for your airave so you don't mess up the regular 4418 one.

 

Nice job on understanding the PRL stuff!

Marcy Road is not very new. It came alive with the cluster in the Pickerington, Canal Winchester area. Its actually near the Ashbrook bridge off Lithopolis Road west of Lancaster. That's a haul. That one pops up every once in awhile in odd places like along 310 just north of Pataskala. If you get it again, click the map link and see what coordinates show up on the map. It could be a geocoding error. It could also be a error with sprint.

The forum, its a living breathing seductive animal. She draws you in to where you become so absorbed that no other entertainment matters.

 

Or when you get home and momma tells you, "Hey let's replace the patio gate today and fix the other double gate, get changed, we're going to home depot."  But I don't pass up a chance to go Home Depot to buy stuff...   it helps fill that gap when I'm not able to buy tech ;)

Wait, it reaches from west of Lancaster to north of Pataskala? :blink:

1x800 is 100% proven to receive hits from over 40+ miles. Digi drove to the site himself.

 

EDIT: Changed "proven to work" to "proven to receive hits from"

You know, if their cells would work better, closer to the site than farther away, I think things could work so much better! 

 

I remember when a company I worked for used 800 SMR carrier, their transmitter was downtown Columbus and we could talk on the single site about 45-60 miles away. Granted that was with 45 watt mobiles, half that distance with 3 watt handhelds. Before the Nextel revolution.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
