That's the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time!.....and will
destroy BOTH radio and cellphone....DON'T DO IT!
1 - Antenna will not transmit 800 or 1900 Mhz.....
2 - The transmitter of one radio transmits into the RECEIVER of the
other, destroying its sensitive input amplifier.
3 - The transmitters, themselves, will be operating into such a
complex impedance, it may take out the output amp in the transmitter,
too!
NO GO.......
Don't feel pregnant, though. Today I was helping someone troubleshoot
their electrical problems on a motor yacht. I casually asked him why
his battery charger was connected to his 2000W AC inverter. Without
missing a beat and totally serious, he told me that was to keep his
battery charged when he was at anchor away from the dock.......
Ever seen a perpetual motion machine?.....(c;
I just said, "Oh, I see.".....thinking about how I was gonna get away
from this boat before I found its exhaust riser plugged into the
diesel intakes to conserve air......
Sure hope his head doesn't pump into the fresh water tank....hee hee.
The inverter had plenty of power to run the 30A battery charger
plugged into it, though.....(c;

Put a T in the output of your VHF so your cellphone can be connected
to your VHF antenna waaaaaaaaay up thar on your mast. Since your 900
Mhz cellphone is even more line-of-sight than vhf, this will give you
more more coverage when you are a few miles out. In this case, I
expect coverage will then be limited by cellphone power instead of by
not being able to see a tower. I would expect to be able to get
coverage from 15 miles out. I once experimented, while standing on my
cabin top, I was able to use my cell phone while being 6 miles
offshore. Would a cell phone booster be illegal?
