DeSoto, MO, 7 miles out of time, middle of the woods on a hill. Coverage map shows me BARELY in the "roaming" section...

Sprint w/Sierra 595u hooked to a tablet pc using ICS - Full EVDO RevA connection, -95 to -105 dbi - speeds around 900/400 from 4 networked machines!!!

Ordered an external antenna and booster which should take me down in the -80s

BYE BYE HUGHESNET!!!!!!!!

Just because you're not in the "Green" areas, don't give up! Take the 30 trial they offer and try it out. I NEVER thought I would have anything other than Hughes *cringe* but Sprint has delivered me from evil!!

Loaded my notebook pc, U727 card and Freedom antenna into my Burgman the other day and rode my scooter up to the first scenic overlook above Tucson on the Catalina Highway.
Set up stuff at the overlook about 2.6 miles up the mountain. Got REVA but had to point antenna towards Tucson, Arizona. It didn't seem to matter where in town I pointed to.
I can see mountains in Mexico from up there! There are no viewable cell towers in the Catalina Mountains as it is mostly national forest land.

I felt pretty confident so I rode on up the rest of the mountain (20 miles) then once again set up the PC, card and antenna at a overlook at the 7,000 foot level, just below Mount Bigelow (broadcast antenna farm).
From there, I was unable to get REVA, only 1xRTT roaming. The message screen said that the server was unable to connect even though I could see three bars of strength.

Riding back down to about the 4,000 foot level, I was able to connect to another 1xRTT connection and use my browser for a few minutes until time to go.

Next time I'll do speed tests and take pictures.

We have EVDO Rev A in Charlottesville now.

Well, "they" have it, but unfortunately my 1 yr old MotoQ doesn't get it. I have EVDO in other areas but not here. From the web it sounds like I need a hard reset to force the phone to update its towers list.

Looks like Sprint finally activated EVDO Rev A for Carbondale, IL. I had been forcing my phone to roam on Alltel's Rev 0 network, glad I don't have to do that anymore.

Looks like Butte, Montana now has EVDO. The map shows only 1xrtt coverage but when plugged in my card to my laptop, the connection manager showed that I was connected to EVDO Rev A! Shocked
