Just bought another EVDO card off ebay cheap and went looking for the AT commands so I could find the ESN. I’m hoping that this PC-5220 is a bit more reliable than the PC-5740 that I’m using now. The 5220 at least has an antenna connection and that should work better than my soldered hack on the current card.
Some cards won’t require the trailing question mark. The signal strength varies from card to card also but 31 appears to be the max signal for any card. Some cards report integers 0-31 and other only report 0, 7, 15, 23, and 31. A strength of 7 or better should work but your speed and reliability will be affected.
Card’s ESN: (in hex) AT+GSN
+GSN: 60223620
Firmware: AT+GMR
+GMR: S/W VER: p12203v0 .

Where did you find out about these AT commands and what other commands are there for the pc5220? Thanks,
*gjt*
I just googled around and eventually found a post on one of the EV-DO forums.
What I’d like is to be able to find out if the card is seeing 1XRTT or EVDO.
