Hello

I'm doing some preliminary investigation into using the PDS6, as a replacement for the EGS3.

I'm using the AT^SNMON="INS",2 command to scan the available cells. For the purpose of speed I'd like to be able to scan a single band at a time, either 2G or 3G.

Using the AT^SCFG="Radio/Band",*** I am unable to disable all of the 2G or 3G bands; the modem forces insists that at least 1 of each must be active at any time.

Is there any way around this so that I can scan a single 2G or 3G band at a time?

Thanks

Steve

Hello,

Please try AT^SXRAT command to select the radio access technology before issuing the AT^SNMON command.

If this will not do the job there is probably no other way and you will have to scan at least two bands.

With EHS6 I have on my desk this is working - either 2G or 3G is scanned.

Best regards,

Bartłomiej
