__ Well Here in N/W Indiana any Cell Phone even if not in Service Will work to Call 911 . But I go Fishing in a lot of Places that the handheld Cell will not work So I tried to get My old Analog 3 Watt with the roof Mount ant activated No Way I was told No New Activation for Analog But if I would of kept it active I could. For a little longer
Keep in Mind in a Emergency at the Repeater site 911 Will give that Location at the PD Well I guess so would a Regular Phone Patch I picked up 2 Brand New Motorola Bag Phone 3 Watt at a Ham Fest for $5.00 and put it in My wifes car for Emergency use only. Not activated, If you got someone you dont like you can call the Collect at $6.00 and $2.00 a Min PS I recall in the old days of hams making 911 Calls on Repeater Auto Patch We had to spend more time actually trying to Explain to the Dispatcher why Their CAD System shows us in some other Place Miles away from where We were calling, This would take up Valuable time in trying to give Info on the Real Emergency. Good Luck Don KA9QJG ,_._,___
