I don't know what that means..... :-)

Signal strength is bouncing between 53%-64%....with an average of 61%

Signal is -87dBm
The tower hopping and high ping time is disturbing. That adds up to battery eating and inconsistent performance.

Under normal conditions, reception ought vary by just a few dBm, maybe 4 or 5 tops. My graph is usually a straight line.
