Why the signal discrepancy reporting between Qualcomm x62 and x55 modems?

Greetings Community - I am perplexed by the signal reading discrepancies between the x62 and x55 modems in the MAX BR Pro units.

Same exact SIM card, Bands, Firmware [OS and Modem], and 4x4 Waveform antenna connections. These number discrepancies make it difficult to align the antenna - based on which modem is used for reception.

Curious if anyone else noticed this, or could test to see if you experience the same differences between the Qualcomm modems?


Hard to tell exactly what is going on here but in the first image the technology is 5G NSA and the 2nd you are suing 5G TDD / 5G Sub-6.

The latter requires massive mimo tower hardware, so although you are using the same frequencies you are connecting via different hardware to the operator network.

That mimo array will be doing beam forming also. So I would expect to see better RF frequency / signal management which could account for the improvements in the 2nd screenshot.

@MartinLangmaid Thank you for the second set of eyes; too focused on other parameters and completely overlooked the actual connection technology.
