I'm probably missing this in a sticky but I've looked for a good while. Just ordered a booster from the 3gstore and would like to be able to do signal strength comparisons on it's effect on my V640.

Where are you guys going to get SS readings on your cards?

Here's an image/graph that may help some users to better understand exactly what the RSSI numbers mean.

Cool depiction of signal strength. Does anyone know of a way to get fairly accurate coverage.....moreso than what the Sprint coverage maps? What do Sprint Engineers use?

Its frustrating to see the coverage map indicate an orange area (EVDO), and then get really crappy signal there.
