    Network Vision/LTE - West Washington Market (Seattle/Puget Sound Region)

    in Markets

    Posted

    OK. So the n66 site I picked up in Port Townsend is a 4 sector site.  I was able to connect to n66 on only two of the 4 sectors. It never appeared in Neighbor lists (at least when I was looking).  Could only get moved over from n25.  Also, I could not get n41 when in SA mode on this site.  I also never connected to n66 in NSA mode.  I found a new site in Port Townsend on top of Manresa Castle. A Sprint Retain site that I was not expecting. 

    I left Port Townsend after breakfast and headed over to Sequim (pronounced Skwim, one syllable), Port Angeles (which is most often just called P.A.) and out to the end of the Ediz Hook and did lots of mapping.  Stopped to pick some berries with my wife.  Checked out some sites, verified some site names.  Never did I ever catch another whiff of n66 anywhere out in this region.

    I later drove home the long way, down by Crescent Lake, through Forks (think Twilight) and along the Olympic Coast down to Aberdeen/Hoqiuam back home to Olympia. Never saw n66.  But I am glad to lay down the first NR trails on the SignalCheck map in Clallam County and around the backside of the Olympic Peninsula. 

    Fun short trip.  Love filling in the map.  I wasn't able to get over to Neah Bay and Cape Flattery.  I really wanted to. Next time!

    Now the next question - will the n66 aggregate with anything??  Like n25 or n41 or n71?  You might have to have some data running and be OFF Wi-Fi while you enter the 0011 menu to see it.

    My n25 will aggregate in almost  any combination with the other nr bands.  Will the n66 do it?  I even see a 15 x15 n25 aggregate with a n41 channel and another 10 x 10 n25 channel.

    I am in Central Pennsylvania in the old Shentel area with a S-22.

    Not that I noticed.  :(

    I just did some driving around after dinner. If I get on n71, I cannot connect to n66 for the life of me. I can only get handed into n66 from n25, as far as I can tell.  Only on this one site in Port Townsend that I can see.  But there's not a lot of n25 around here to test for hand in.

    Now if the Pixel 7 Pro will just work with NR Voice, that'd be great. When NR Voice went live in the Seattle market, my P7P immediately would connect to voice network. You could see it on all the screens.  But I cannot connect to incoming calls, and if I try to place an outgoing call it immediately says "Call Ended."

    I was hoping when the update for came in that enabled n25 back, the NR Voice situation would fix itself. Unfortunately, no.

    Yeah, it worked great.  I had zero problems.  It did strongly prefer n25 over n41.  But n25 was way better performance than n41 around here.  That's the only thing I can think of as why maybe they shut it down.  I hope I'm not banned from n25 the remaining years I have this device!  :wall:

    Received an update yesterday and n25 is back on Pixel 7 Pro!  Yay!!
