Really bad signal -100db - any fixes?

So I just updated to 2.1.1 Fresh Rom and the latest radio. I'm at about -100db. Yesterday after I installed the latest radio and flashed the SprintUpdate2.zip rom, I had about -80db, that's quite a difference. I haven't been able to get back up to a better signal no matter what I do.
Software versions:
Firmware 2.1-fresh
Baseband 2.42.01.04.27
Kernal 2.6.29-bc0d2cff
software 2.27.651.5
PRI 1.68_003
PRL 60664
Any ideas on what I can do to improve my signal? I'm getting a lot of dropped calls. I've got my MSL and even went so far as to do a factory reset without success.
Thanks!

You should either go back to the radio version you had or try another one. Each radio version will have various results for different people depending on your location. Try some different versions from here until you find the one that works the best for you: http://geekfor.me/category/radio/

So I've tried all the different radios:
-88-102db 2.42.01.04.27
-89-96db 1.04.01.09.21
-96-100db 2.32.40.11.09 - Verizon
-84-98db 2.41.04.02.02 - Eris
-84-91db 2.41.05.02.03
-88-96db 2.42.00.03.10
Overall, there wasn't a substantial difference in any of them except maybe the Verizon one was the poorest.
How do I update the PRI in order to check that? After the PRI I suppose my next step would be to try different ROM versions to see if they have any affect.

got to the sevice menu(type *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone) and look under software info
or check the ro.semc.version.cust number in the build.prop file in the system folder(you need root & root explorer)
there is a list somewhere with all build numbers but i'm still looking for it

Only the ROMs that have the same three numbers as the last three of your firmware version.
For example:
The last three numbers of your firmware are 401. This means you have an unbranded EU phone. And you can only flash unbranded EU ROMs, the 401 is given in the ROM version (RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.08).

[Q] Difference between 20A, 20B, 20H...

What's the difference between 20A, 20B, 20C, and so on? Are these different regions, or newer revisions of version 20? Any harm in trying a different version than what the phone came with?
