LTE Scanner is useless?

Tue Sep 14, 2021 8:19 pm

I've tried LTE Scanner on SXT LTE kit and it shows only the operator to which my SIM belongs. It was my impression that with this tool should be used to determine which operators are present in the area. But I'm getting just one. I've tried with another SIM from different operator - again, Scanner just shows this very operator and nothing else. Cell Monitor works ok though.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I somehow "disconnect" to make this LTE Scanner work and show all the available operators?

BTW, running on currently latest stable RouterOS 6.48.4 and LTE modem firmware is also up-to-date.

You will only see nearby cell towers of the current SIM operator you have inserted

Some ISP share that option when you enable roaming checkbox.
