Harrison Ford has made one-tooooo-many movies where he makes a passionate plea of:

I have a friend that knows everything too...... Small doses......I can only listen to his BS for so long until my head blows up.... He's got a heart of gold though, so we let him hang around.....I just don't know how his wife can stand it though.....
There's a few people thay I'd like to meet here, and Gene is one of 'em...Who needs acid when you've got Gene ?:D

Actually, Gene make perfect sense to all of us. It's the acid you took that's causing you problems. I took acid, too, but it was the good stuff.:D

to be more accurate; it would be this:

Did you know that radio telephones were invented by ham radio guys??

Radio phones were (originally) single-site devices... like modern day cordless phones. Get out of range - and you lose the call.

Were they anything like, or an offshoot of ship-to-shore phones?

Well, Tom did use a modified Motrac police/cab transceiver....put it on 2 meter ham band....antenna was on the tallest tower around the DC region at the time Channel 20 in Tyson's Corner Va. so no problem with range from damn near Fredricksburg Va. to most of the way to Baltimore Md, and far west as W. Va. and down into Southern Md,.....

the trick with modern cphones is the CDMA developed by Dr. Irwin Jacobs of Qualcom fame....I dunno how it works, but it uses computers to flip calls from one tower to another all across country.....I dunno if maybe they use satellites for trans continental calls these daze.....

From tower to tower they use a microwave signal.

[mrvette]

From tower to tower they use a microwave signal.

Whole ton of freqs up to light speeds...IR/ but not in it these daze other than basic theory, so dunno a whole lot of the tech specs/etc....

I do know that Verizon supposedly used the entire Codec from Jacobs/CDMA, and that ATT/Bellsouth did not, and used SOME of the Codec....

now why? I dunno, not kept up....
