    Put a K on the end of that quote, and you have met my price. AJ

    Well, when I worked in the audio department at Circuit City during college, that is what my frat boy coworker said. And he seemed like the expert on the matter of beer. AJ

    99,964 posts. It is going to happen soon, but while I am out in the field tonight. Oh well, drink a glass of champagne for me...or Coors Light, the champagne of beers. AJ

    Somebody is stealing my "Not gonna happen" rebuttal catchphrase... AJ

    Well, now, that would be very convent for a resident Tulsa, where US Cellular holds one of its rare major market Cellular 850 MHz licenses. But, no, that could not be an ulterior motive for lynyrd... AJ

    And lynyrd tips his cap. He secretly wishes for SoftBank to bring about SprinT-Mobile. AJ

    The bottleneck is not so much the sensor any longer. It is the lens. Unless you want a Coke can size lens sticking out of the back of your handset, the camera phone point of diminishing returns is already here. AJ

    I may be starting to look "distinguished," but that does not mean I am going to act like it. AJ

    If I am not mistaken, the older of the two West 6th St Dillons is still a pretty close clone to the now rebuilt Mass St "Ghetto/Dirty" Dillons. AJ

    Indeed, T-Mobile can be a great option for city dwellers who rarely, if ever leave the city or simply fly to other cities. But at least two problems persist: T-Mobile still has way too much 2G GSM only native coverage remaining. GSM based carriers in the US play together nicely only selectively. T-Mobile subs who live outside of major metros or travel by car will find themselves frequently with 2G GSM only coverage -- if that. The second problem is a worse version of the first. GSM based carriers here in the US cannot seem to cooperate. So, coverage may be available from AT&T, et al., but T-Mobile does not have a roaming agreement to use that coverage. Thus, large areas of the country have no usable (non emergency) coverage for T-Mobile subs. Sprint, for all of it warts, largely avoids both of these problems. Sprint's network is almost entirely updated to EV-DO and will be likewise to LTE. Plus, Sprint has the most comprehensive roaming agreements in the industry. If there is a CDMA1X signal to be had, Sprint probably has a roaming agreement and has included it in the PRL so that you can use it. AJ

    The grey hairs popping up around my sideburns and the beer may take care of the "white streak" and "balance" requirements, respectively. AJ

    I think the saying goes that we won't sell the house (or web site) while you're gone -- unless someone meets our price. AJ

    Man, oh, man, have I got some cleaning to do then. My house has stray electronics here, there, and everywhere. Bedrooms, kitchens, chairs, tables. When I wake up in the morning, both my house and my hair fit the bill of the mad scientist. AJ

    As of right now, our post total stands at 99,739. At our current rate, we should cross the 100,000 mark sometime in the next 24 hours. That is after only a year in our current forum format. And only 80,000 of the posts are from Robert -- I kid, I kid. S4GRU has become just a little bit popular. Congratulations, everyone! AJ

    I always knew it as "Ghetto Dillons." AJ

    You are running a non carrier based ROM, and the engineering screens are not included. AJ

    Yeah, he got "sideways" in Santa Barbara County wine country. AJ

    My on again, off again girlfriend thinks that patronizing Greensburg businesses helps the recovery effort. Plus, the "little pieced together thing" is a bit of a curiosity in the range of Dillons that I have seen. When I was growing up, we used to love to stop at the Kentucky Fried Chicken/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut in southern Overland Park. It was quite the novelty twenty years ago, especially to teenagers. In fact, we called it the "KenTaco Hut." The Greensburg Dillons grocery store/convenience store/gas station reminds me of that. So, I think that it, too, needs a catchy name. I propose the "congasery storation." AJ

    When traveling US-54/400 to or from Santa Fe, we like to stop at the new Greensburg Dillons grocery store/convenience store/gas station. AJ

    And if you think that I am exaggerating at all about their proximity, just scroll around a bit from this intersection: http://goo.gl/maps/fv4GS AJ

    Ah, could be a 20 MHz TDD WiMAX carrier, maybe even 4x4 MIMO. Okay, this means more research work for me. But get me the WiMAX device info, and I will check the FCC OET database. AJ
  23. WiWavelength
    ...which has its headquarters across the street from the Sprint Campus in Overland Park. Yeah, it is quite a wonder how Black & Veatch gets any Sprint contracts. AJ
  24. WiWavelength
    No, it is not possible. A 10 MHz TDD WiMAX carrier with 2x2 downlink MIMO cannot support 90 Mbps. The speed test is a fake or a mistake. AJ

    Per my understanding, LTE never uses RSSI to determine handoff to another sector (or network reselection back down to eHRPD/EV-DO). Rather, for that purpose, LTE uses both RSRP and RSRQ. Per my experience, RSRP is the better gauge of coverage limits for individual sectors or the network as a whole. If RSRP falls to -120 dBm for a few seconds, handoff or network reselection is likely to follow. I have not observed RSRQ closely enough to find any definite patterns regarding handoff or reselection. But RSRQ may be the better gauge of expected data speeds, since it is designed to measure signal quality. AJ
