Is this a function of the modulation schemes, or is it because CDMA is on
800 and GSM carriers are on 1900 PCS? Sprint is on 1900 CDMA, here, and
its range sucks just as bad as all the other 1900 Mhz carriers...about 2
miles unless there are heavy TREES, Southern Pines, nature's RF sponge.

GSM works quite well in Europe in some god-awful terrain. But, that may be
because Europe isn't afraid to buy a little FILL IN REPEATER for the dead
zones.
