“Swordmaker, you might want to file this comment as a retort whenever driftdiver starts mouthing off. Yakking about a receiver’s “signal strength”! Can one get more ignorant on technical issues?”

And by the way, the “transmitter” strength used by wireless companies is dictated by the FCC. what a pathetic macbot attack

Driftdiver do you have a comparison between the reception of different devices from the same source to the different receivers at the same location? If you don't, this discussion is meaningless.

By the way, I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't even own a cell phone, except for a couple of disposables that might be lying around. Where I live, there is no cell phone reception.

I am an electrical engineer and know a little bit about electrical signals.

Then you should know cell phones have a tx and a rx. The post I was responding to was claiming iPhones have strong signals.
