Is it possible to lock onto a tower?

Is it possible to instruct the UTD to lock onto a single tower? I have a problem at the moment where it keeps jumping between 2 different towers every few seconds.

Use an antenna. Worked for me.

Its at work, so can't go putting aerials up everywhere. There's no problem with either signal, just the jumping inbetween is adding a little to the latency which is pretty annoying. So I want to tell the UTD only use tower 50 (for arguments sake), instead of jumping around between 2 towers with the same signal.

The UT is hopping between the two basestations as it is trying to perform network load balancing, it might be a good thing - if your basestation is overloaded

I can understand that part of it, but every few seconds? Surely this would just slow it down overall?

Look at a reflector, there's a thread somewhere here with info on home-made reflectors as well...

See http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=29417&highlight=antenna, it may help with the jumping between towers. Repositioning the UTD, especially by using utTraceStar, may also help to determine the optimum position for a single tower or screening off one signal. I had a similar situation at one stage and relocated the UTD.
