My 2280 losses signal down at an RX level below -110, it can still sms down at -110 but I never bothered to try voice when it was down that far.

And something I've been wondering what's the difference between the PPN and the BaseID number?
Is it that each tower has a PPN number that is unique to the Base with the BaseID that tower is linked to? Because I've noticed that the PPN numbers seem to be reused when you go to another city far enough away.

And I figured out what IDLHO is, it's the number of times that the phone has handed over to another tower (PPN) while the phone has been idle. On the same field test screen (31-02) DPCH seems to be a counter aswell, all the rest of the numbers on that screen on my phone are still 0.

I've been trying to figure out what f.t. screen 31-03 is talking about it's help text has
PN1 ECK
PN2 ECK
... ...

and the data has PN1 as the current PPN followed by a number with a k after it. All of the other entries are ?'s

I'd be interested in any more info anyone else has on the 2280 aswell.

PS. I forgot to say that while my phone is idle the TX power is always -72, but when you make a call it goes up significantly, I've seen it as high as -2.
