It does look very promising though. Just to pick a nit though, -77 dBm is actually a much HIGHER number (and signal) than -105 dBm. Remember, you are on the other side of zero so a smaller negative number is actually higher. However, what you have is a 28 dBm difference which amounts to a 630 milliwatt boost in signal which is pretty impressive!Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-23344405219338964632018-05-09T11:51:22.490-04:002018-05-09T11:51:22.490-04:00We will just have to be a little more careful!We will just have to be a little more careful!Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-74636922102303460922018-05-09T11:50:56.964-04:002018-05-09T11:50:56.964-04:00You spend a lot of time in developed campgrounds, ...You spend a lot of time in developed campgrounds, so it wouldn't make sense for you.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-28520789937029647382018-05-09T11:49:16.525-04:002018-05-09T11:49:16.525-04:00We don't have a Telus plan...We don't have a Telus plan...Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.com
