I've still got a copy. It was a 70's era walkie-talkie circuit with multiple channel selector. It would not have functioned as our beloved communicator, however, because it had none of the features apparent from the series, i.e. there was no 'ringing' circuitry, no 'hands-free" capability (strictly push-to-talk), not even a squelch. And rather vulnerable to evesdropping, I presume. Not the sort of thing you'd want to be passing tactical orders over with Klingon on the prowl. Innovation is a wildflower. You cannot choose where it will blossom; you can only choose where it will not. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
