Default What a Shout!

Hey, Wally....I just made a 245 mile call on my cell phone. Signal was loud and
clear. Antenna height, over 6' at my ear. Height above phone, 1/2 inch!

My last phone...full color, slipped and sank because it's smooth antenna-less
body was like glass!
I replaced it with a thick phone with an Antenna...and it has fewer dropped
calls!

Sounds like you bought a poor design!

How long does it take for the valves to warm up?

Top of the line with web browser, color screen. I'm now using a "cheap" version
along with a unit that lets me browse and do e-mail from the boat without the
HP notebook.
Pretty cool.

I have a cellphone with extensible external antenna too. It's a CDMA
rig with a lot more range than the useless outside metropolitan areas
GSM phones.

You must have a 5000 watt cell phone for it to penetrate
about a foot of solid bone like that . . .
