digiblur Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 PRLs won't be used to dictate LTE band. That'll be controlled either by which radios are enabled, or some other programming in the phone that chooses LTE. Correct PRLs are only for 1x & EVDO. Only thing it has to do with LTE is for enabling LTE scans per Geo. For instance, there was nothing preventing my phone from scanning and showing C Spire's LTE on my Note2. Since I didn't have authentication rights it just passed right on by, much like the beloved "donut" sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericsson Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Whats up guys? My name is Aaron and I work for a tower company that specializes in SNV, specifically Ericsson equipment. We work the St. Louis and occasionally the KC market also. A friend told me about this site and I thought maybe I could help out by updating what towers that my company is working on. We mainly work south of I-70 and west of Rolla, but occasionally stray outside of our "box" or even to other markets.

Dkoellerwx Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 The market list we use here has it in Missouri, but I can see where it could be called KC on other market lists used for other things. I tried to get a good old fashioned Ozark knife fight about which market Joplin was in a while back but it got broke up by the moderators. Hmm might be a good time try that again Robert is busy moving.... The Joplin sites are officially in the Missouri market according to Sprint, but they run through the Kansas City switch. They are all NID 308 just like KC, whereas Springfield and the lakes are NID 41. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomstang Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 OH MY GAWD SPRINT GOT RID OF ALL THE TOWERS. Sprint decided that it was impossible to make us all happy....therefore, the only way to keep it fair was to make us all mad. Every tower was simultaneously destroyed an hour ago. A reporter snapped a picture of Mr Hesse while he explained that he's had this card hidden up his sleeve the entire time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz393 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Just passed the recently accepted troy site on Dugan Ln. And did not pick up any LTE. on my way back home I'll stop by and see if I can get it. I don't expect to get any pictures because to get to it I would have to go past the guys house who owns the property, and I don't feel like getting shot at. You never know what those country people will do when you get on their property. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz393 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ok. So I was able to get LTE from that Dugan site. The S3 picked it up after a airplane mode toggle, but the LTEvo had to be switched to LTE only mode. And then after I switched it back to CDMA/LTE auto it dropped the LTE signal. So I don't know what's up with that. The evo also had a very low signal even though I was really close to it. It was between - 100 and - 110 dB. Odd. I will upload the pic of 3 digit in a few minutes. But here's the hex. By the way, this screen shot was in LTE only mode, that's why it isn't connected to 1x.
