Antennas
This app monitors the GSM/CDMA cellular network connection; displays a map of approximate cellular antenna locations and their RF signal strength; and can log the data to a text or KML file.
- Does not work on Verizon *** 3G & CDMA Support is limited by Android, not by the application *** CDMA requires Eclair ***
Works best with 2G GSM. 3G/CDMA support is very limited.
Please understand what this tool does and does not do before you rate it. If you are not interested in the esoteric details of how the cellular network works, please do not download this app, it will frustrate you and be a waste of your time. Please check website for details.
I have reports that Verizon now blocks locations. Other providers may do same. Bummer. If your provider blocks, please be considerate and don't downrate the app. Not my fault.
Yes it is a battery hog - it needs to be.
Froyo problems? Tested with HTC Desire 2.2, Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab. I do know that it's failing on some devices through. New release coming soon.
Sorry for not posting updates or responding on emails lately.

Comments
- I love this app! It was of great help when i needed to figure out where to set up my external antenna (and what direction to point it in). My only problem is that the "dots" on the map are tiny, to the point that I sometimes can not see the yellow ones at all. Also, I have too zoom very very close to read the numbers written inside some dots. Perhaps it has something to do with the high screen resolution on my Galaxy Nexus? Nevertheless, I'd pay for this app if it wasn't free. Thank you!
- Seams a lot of people don't bother reading descriptions, or visiting dev websites, before rating an app. This app is excellent at what it is supposed to do. I use the log files it generates to plot detailed points in Google Earth. Its a silly hobby...
- Developer. Didn't work for me (no sim card) but lots of helpful information right in front of me from developer suggesting what the error could be. Good work!
- Great app, though it'd be neat to have muliple sites displayed as found, instead of only displaying one. Too many sites nearby for my phone. EVO
- App does exactly what it says it does. 3g and cdma have limited support as stated,so why give a bad rating if youre too dumb to comprehend that.
- Wow. Truely amazing. I work as an RF engineer for a wireless company and this tool is very useful. I hope it gets even more features as well.
- Helps diagnose issues with coverage when talking to customer service. Great features. Love background scanning.
- Works on my droid, even if limited by cdma hardware. Excellent app for understanding cell, gps location tech.
- Excellent for informational purposes, but how often do you need it?Worked fine on HTC Desire.
- Essential for maximising signal strength in poor reception areas.
