Can EVDO be altered for higher outbound like 1xRTT?

So with 1xRTT you can flop around the data rates (timeslices?) so that it is split to either balance or favor outbound speeds. Has anyone found a way to do something similar with EVDO cards?

I'd be happy to know how to do it with 1xRTT. Any info on this?

For some of the things I do, a synchronous (72kbits each way) would be real useful.

On my phone get thy into test mode.

Field Test: [Menu] 073887 * (you will need the security code -- try 000000)

(_(_(Info Found at Gecko Beach http://www.geckobeach.com/cellular/secrets/mot_secrets.asp )_)_)

Find *Data Rates*
Then *Select*
Data Rates will be set to 153.6/153.6 SAY WHAT? Whoa this is interesting that option didn't used to exist on my old phones, this one is new, it used to be 144.4/33.6 or something like that! OOops! Well see what your phone says and check the options, 76.8/76.8, potentially makes for better outbound. On my old phone I'm remembering that there was an option to split it favoring the second number which I take to be outbound.

Then again I haven't done this in a very long time and I'm ALL confused after seeing 153.6/153.6 on this new phone. Packet detail says that this really is the forward and reverse rate! I don't use the phone for data and don't have a cable for it so can't test.

Pretty cool and thanks for the reply.

Now I need to figure this out for a PC5220 card, unless someone has done it already. Smile
