It just seems that whenever there has been a gprs signal loss or delay, that low signal strength is the excuse. I'd rather be checking it proactively than wait for a break in and then find out.

maybe a low signal report to arc?, masweb reports for logged in eng?

That would be an improvement but I want to know actual signal levels.

dont they change with external conditions. ie minute you turn your back..

Yes but my problem with a low signal the manufacturer could alter it if too many people report issues. I remember one of them doing this in the past regarding making the on site signal warning be lower due to complaints

not possible with masweb printout?

Don't think so?

not now but if...

maybe a low signal report to arc?, masweb reports for logged in eng?

printout for proof?

Yes but let's say that a significant strength of 5 was decided as a minimum then installers complain because there are loads in radio low so they change the threshold to 3. I'm also curious due to how poor my phone is with gprs that signal strength isn't a reliable measurement that a signal will actually arrive?

I'm under the impression that the read out on dualcom is lower than the real signal strength ?

the odd time I've spoken to csl tech they qoute the pad as being 10-15% higher than on the 7 seg ?
