My wife and I still use our old 3 watt monsters. I kind of take the Zen view of phones in that "they are my tools, they are not my master". I've never been tempted to take my bag phone into a restuarant. My phone can be plugged into the lighter outlet if I want to make a call. When I use the phone, my conversations are clear, even in very rural areas. Oh, I carry the Motorola TX200 with me into restaurants. Younger people have never seen one and I'm frequently approached to ask about how well it works. To Verizon's dismay, I let them make a call so they can hear the beautiful FM fidelity, without the digital delays and distortions of their little toyphones. Most of them, exposed to cellular's brainwashing that AMPS is terrible, noisy, distorted and just awful to reduce demand for AMPS cellular service, are astonished that they've been lied to by the companies. Compared to 8 or 13 Khz digital schemes, AMPS sounds like FM stereo...(c; I'll get off AMPS when they drag the bagphone handle from my DEAD COLD HANDS..... Larry W4CSC NNNN |
