This info has appeared in other newgroups like alt.cellular.verizon.
It sounds to me like a FAQ needs to be created. The information is
out there, but it is scattered all over the net. Wouldn't it be nice
to find it all in one place?

Just one example, your LG field test info can be found at

No, there isn't ... It's not something that either Sanyo or SPCS wants you
to do ... There is a way to do it, but I don't remember the specific steps.

I don't know about the 7400, but on Sprint PCS Sanyos thru the 8100,
here's the sequence for entering field debug mode:
1. Dial "##040793"
2. Hit Menu/OK
3. Select "Save Phone#"
4. Choose "1-Screen"
Unfortunately, when the phone is in standby mode, this shows you nothing
useful. However, when a call is in progress, it shows a couple of
numbers useful for locating a cell site - the PN Offset that identifies
the cell site and the signal strength in -dBm (-40 you're very close,
-70 is good, -90 is fair, -100 is poor).
