That's supposedly correct. It shows signal "quality", which to me, means
the same thing. If the "quality" is low, then you get a crappy signal.
My point was that you can be a few kays away to get a good signal, then
move a few kays and you get squat.

It is a little bit different, it depends on how many people are using the
signal. If, say 50 people are using their phones and are within a few kays
of the transmitter you will get a low signal. If they all hang up except you
the "signal"strength" meter will go up. In theory the quality should be
the same. :-)

Wrong in the right ducting conditions.

There is no ducting on the mobile phone bands that would allow the signal to
carry 200-250km - the frequency is far too narrow in the CDMA and GSM bands.
It is not possible.

Wrong, as always.

Mindlessly pig ignorant.
