I'm in Autaugaville and get great signals 3-5 bars.
I have both a dual band repeater,and two dual band
direct connect amps.I had to travel 60-70K a year
for several years and aquired an abundance of equipment
including external antennas.I'm currently set up with
amp to directional panel.Would love to dump some surplus to
help buy a router for my Huawei ec228.
Also omni antennas are not the best,I have seen people use
an old DTV dish,to help reflect more signal??]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20978370 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:03:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20974195 Max Signal : That looks like you are connected to 1xrtt. Try the magnetic mount antenna. The building could be blocking the signal.

If you using the magnetic mount antenna remember it must be on a metal ground plane. An RSSI of 80 should get you good speeds . Please post a speed test for us

Can u explain 2 me how I go about locking my signal. Thanks again its greatly appreciated!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20941831 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:03:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20941037 anon : I think you have about what you need coming. You may find that an outside Antenna may work better. I live about 35 miles south of Montgomery and get 3 to 4 bar on my Razr and EV showing most of the time. I have a pc5750 Card that I use for my EVDO connection. Most of the time I am able to get an evdo signal with the outside Antenna and no Amp but it will shift back to 1x more than I like.

What you need to do is lock your card to EVDO so it will not shift back to 1x. When you do that, it with not shift back to 1x. If I put the amp in line and lock EVDO then I get a 4 to 5 bars and a 75 RSSI or less. Without the Amp about 1 to 3 bars and a RSSI of 82 to 87. When you lock your card to EVDO you will notice there will not be a many bars showing and you can check your RSSI for your signal strength. You will need at least 1 or 2 bar showing for your card and at least RSSI of 85 to 87 are less for a consistence connection. 75 RSSI or less is much better and will give you the fastest downloads.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20941037 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:27:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20938591 RJB1979AU : Whats up all? I just switched from wild 'blues' to alltel axcess due to WB horrible customer service. I live in a rural area 20 miles from Montgomery, AL. My zip code is 36078. The EVDO coverage map shows that I'm just outside of EV coverage. I usually have 3 bars of 1x but occasionally it will switch to EV rev.A but it never lasts more than a few mins. I never obtain download speeds faster than 140k and upload is around 40 k even when there is an EV signal which SUX! I have an Huawei ec228. I have researched the antennas and signal boosters and have purchased a High Gain 7 dbi 13 inch Indoor Desk Top Cellular - EVDO Antenna, CA 819K Signal Booster, and a Huawei EC 228 Data Card Adapter from maximum signal.net. They havent arrived in the mail yet but it shouldnt be long!! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20938591 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:29:57 EDT
