This may not help, if the signal isn't strong enough, but you can set most phones not to roam. That will restrict it to associating with the correct tower, if that's what you want.
I learned this trick in the hospital. I had my cell phone being a CDMA modem for my laptop to get my business back running during a convalescence. The phone would often associate with a Sprint tower, I'd be G3 and good-to-go. Unfortunately, there were some roaming towers with better signals. I was complaining to the nurse about my phone associating with the "wrong" (stronger) tower, and she suggested I turn off roaming. For a 30 year networking professional to need to take networking advice from medical personnel doesn't happen very often, but this time it sure did the trick! hth Dan <snip> I know this is way off target - but I figure there may be cell phone RF antenna experts lurking in this forum. </snip> _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
