I'm curious how they got the auto patches to work with the cell phones, the wire pin-outs and so on. I do suppose it wouldn't be such a daunting task if one figured out for the digital phones that have data cables with DB-9 connectors. I would like to be enlightened from someone out there has done it before for the analog phones.
The bag phones actually have a lot of useful parts in them, with just a few modifications, they can be readily made for 902MHz operation. Before I got deployed to waste-land Iraq (you can see many pictures of how trashy the cities are) I was working on one such myself. Granted they may not be for someone who has the money it to just go buy a 900MHz machine because of the time involved, but it is fun to work with these. I'm also working on a project to make a full duplex and simplex voice operation in the 900MHz amateur band. One does learn alot when accomplishing such a task. http://www.qsl.net/n9zia is such a site devoted to things such as these. Very, very informative. I've got *several* bag phones and once out of the army (12 hour days and you wanna come home and just spend the little time with the family) and have a normal 10-6 life, I am going to pursue on a large scale working on the conversions. I'm happy I brought several of my books over here to learn about this neat stuff... ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ ------------------------------------------------- ~Ben, KB9LFZ Got your radio on and "listening?"
