LHG R 4G kit "cell-monitor" command missing

Good day,

Few days ago purchased MikroTik LHG 4G kit. After some tests I figured that local gsm operator has internet stability problems on closest to me tower, because speed sometimes go extremely down. I desired try connect to another, and try force modem to choose it. Referring Mikrotik wiki:

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/LTE

I should use cell-monitor to detect other stations nearby. But seems this command is missing, what I'm missing?
RouterOS 6.43.8 (stable)

p.s. lte scan command also not working (after 3 minutes of scanning zero results).

This command is available since 6.44beta14. Switch to testing channel and upgrade if you want to use it now, or wait until 6.44 is considered stable.

As you can see this feature is for R11e-LTE not for R11e-4G

With latest LTE firmware on described interface model and ROS release is working perfectly.

PD: Updated firmware to v018 and works well.
