Colokeb Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wondering if cell tower signals are sent with a radial vector ID like airplane VORs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongboy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 No. There are usually three sectors on a site and sometimes you can use that to know what your direction is from the tower within 120 degrees of the site. Unless the cell site broadcasts it's lat/lon location with 1x info the cell site doesn't give any more other location info. It definitely doesn't change its modulation depending on your direction from the site like aviation VOR transmitters do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
