Re: [Repeater-Builder] Bag Cell Phone rant?

2004-07-29 Thread Mark Holman
If you put a Cell Roof Mount antenna on the metal building that will be
sheilded from the repeater, as well improve reception, or get a Beam antenna
and point it towards the cell site.

Using Good Eng. Pratices is the key.

 You are sadly right, and on that day I will depend entirely on mobile
2-way radio for communications.
 I'd rather hear a bit of static any day as opposed to bits of garbled
digital mess.
 It's frustrating to me that cell phones with ring tones, cameras and games
are better sellers than quality audio.

 They say the old brick phones (like mine) cause cancer. I say the tiny
digital phones cause stress!
 The carriers in my area already look at the analogue channels as
secondary, unimportant lines.

  FYI-in a couple of years, carriers will no longer be required to
  maintain analog channels, so you can bet that the analog channels will
  go away quite quickly, and the bag phone will no longer work.

A few years, I don't think it will be that long. The cell company that I sell for has already dumped more than 75% of thier analog lines, and plans are to maintain about 20 to 40 lines for emergency only services. Accross the nation, there is suppose be 26 companies that is converting to the GSM service, and doing so they are removing the analog lines. The communications are great for GSM so long as you are in distance of a tower, get out of that circle and your done. There is no in between.
