IMHO, when they say "doubling" or "2x capacity", it's the same as saying 1x speed is 153 kbps. I understand that viewpoint. One possible explanation .. just "thinking out loud". The approximate "doubling" of voice capacity may be the theoretical limit if all the r-f interference were from CDMA sources. A "noise floor", however, implies interference from other sources. If the noise floor is high enough, the average CDMA carrier strength would be increased, in turn decreasing the capacity. Thanks for the links. Ron
