WiWavelength

I paid $265 when it was new in box. After just a week of use, I would not mind getting $200 out of it. AJ

You...for using oversized, strange phones. AJ

Excellent. We appreciate the support. Now, Robert, when do I get my commission? AJ

If anyone is interested, I have a perfect condition LG Optimus G that I would be willing to sell. It was new in a sealed box when I bought it three weeks ago. I used it for a week for testing purposes, and now it is back in the box. It also has root level access. AJ

I am not sure that the battery drain would be of any significance, since both carriers would likely share the same antennas and radio paths. Regardless, internal menu settings would probably allow advanced users to disable carrier aggregation. I do not have the FCC rulemaking in front of me right now, but do see in this thread the following post that I wrote back in June: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4112-draft-rules-for-h-block-auction-set-by-fcc/?p=161368 AJ

That is wishful thinking. Many markets have ≤20 MHz PCS A-F block spectrum. Those markets would be cut back to a maximum of only three CDMA1X/EV-DO 1900 carriers. So, refarming A-F block spectrum in those markets is likely not practical for many years. Additionally, millions of current and future Sprint LTE devices do not support the PCS/AWS-2 H block. Any refarming of the PCS G block to utilize its spectrum for a 10 MHz FDD carrier would take LTE 1900 out of service for those devices in markets where A-F block refarming is not possible. Not to mention, the G block and H block have different service rules. Thus, they may be better left as separate 5 MHz FDD carriers, the H block used for offload because it is power and out of band emissions constrained. AJ

What happens to Nextel "towers"? They go to "tower" heaven. AJ

If you want to know how to sweep, grab a broom. I will show you. On the other hand, if you want to know how to adjust sweep time, Brian's tweet does not exactly solve the problem. Sweep/sample time and RBW should be independently adjustable. But I suspect this is just a limitation of the inexpensive spectrum analyzer. AJ

VZW holds no SMR 800 MHz spectrum. AJ

Okay, thanks. Titus County is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth BTA, which is one of the many BTAs that make up the Dallas-Fort Worth MTA. From your RF Explorer sweep, these are the relevant PCS 1900 MHz licenses: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseMarketSum.jsp?licKey=9793 http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseMarketSum.jsp?licKey=10372 Both are AT&T, so I am probably correct in my assessments of one W-CDMA carrier and one GSM channel. AJ

Unfortunately, the SID does not help. The DFW MTA is huge. Sprint uses the same SID all the way to Amarillo and beyond. What is your county? I can use that to track down the constituent BTA within the DFW MTA. AJ

Hmm, "motox." You should sell them to middle aged women as an alternative to Botox. AJ

Is this in Mount Pleasant? For Sprint, 1965-1970 MHz is not relevant, as that is the downlink of the PCS E block. In the Dallas-Fort Worth MTA, Sprint is licensed the PCS B block, which has its downlink at 1950-1965 MHz. Prima facie, what you have in the PCS E block looks like a W-CDMA carrier. Then, at 1971 MHz, that would be in the PCS F block, and it looks like a GSM channel. I would say AT&T or T-Mobile for one or both, but I would have to check my spreadsheets and/or the FCC ULS to know for sure. Do you happen to know whether you are in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Paris, or Texarkana BTA? AJ

To my knowledge, Japan is the only country that allows use of channel 14. Even then, it is limited to 802.11b. No 802.11g, nor 802.11n. This is likely because Globalstar is licensed that spectrum for satellite usage worldwide. So, no, one more non overlapping channel would not make our unlicensed ISM 2.4 GHz band more like that of other countries. AJ

You seem to be an NBA guy, but I had no idea what your animated GIF was supposed to mean. So, I went "Ron Artest." AJ

I don't recall. I cannot remember. AJ

Could be, but I am not sure about that correlation. The Legends site is in the "98X" group. It is still 3G only, and unless I am sorely mistaken, it is water tower mounted. I would still call that a traditional macro site. Moreover, other water tower sites are outside the "98X" group. AJ

That does not seem to be Sprint's modus operandi with Network Vision. In order to get the entire network renovated as quickly as possible, cities and venues do not get preferential treatment. AJ

Sprint Center does have LTE coverage, and it reportedly had a microcell or DAS installed a few weeks ago. If you had no LTE inside Sprint Center, your EVO LTE is likely part of the problem. Whether due to design or firmware, its LTE performance is not up to par. AJ

You are a brand new member. We welcome you, and you get some leeway. But do not go down the path of complaining about the premium data fee. We already had to close one thread today because that off topic discussion went awry. The bottom line is that you chose to use a smartphone on Sprint, and the fee goes along with that. When you have come to the big city, Kansas City, over the past three years, you have been free to use widespread WiMAX and/or LTE. So, you do have 4G access, just not yet in Des Moines. AJ

Sprint must be adding more Network Vision satellites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-1_(rocket_engine) AJ

It is the "black box." It records data for HTC in the event of a phone crash. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_box_(transportation) AJ

I have no clear idea. I report only what others have observed. Maybe T-Mobile cheaps out on the electric bill. To sell cheap service, it has to cut corners somewhere. AJ

Yeah, I *want* to be arrested for corporate espionage. AJ
