You are going by what Dr. ahhh has to say, your are deep trouble. The man does not get wireless one bit. I'd take Dr. J over Dr. ahh anyday. Greg

Rascal: I'm no expert. But I will try to assist. Are you asking if this info. applies to Q? I will assume you do. "Wireless is a flawed technology." Blanket statement. Leads one to assume that All wireless is flawed. CDMA is not. Thus the huge run to Q, and away from 'traditional' wireless. Clear as a bell communications. Let's apply the same standard to farming. I want to grow 20 acres of spuds on 10 acres of land. The land isn't flawed, I just need to buy more. The land is flawed if it is sand. Non-CDMA is 10 acres of sand. The rest of the comment is now pointless. "You have launched the bear market in wireless." Wow! Who ever this is, they must be very powerful. There is much more, but I will spare you. Many others here may address this, and probably better than I. Hope it helps some. No worries with Q. Q rocks, just a matter of time...

Hi Rascal, If you think there is gridlock on wireless just wait until a sufficient amount of people get on cable! Now which is more trouble, running a wire to every home or placing a few more towers here and there. Any exponential growth in technology and it's irritating side effects always brings out the naysayers. Now take all of your concerns and all the negative things you have heard, place them in the Social and Idealistic Toilet add a PINCH of Capitalistic Profit, flush it for about two years and watch what happens, wallaaaa! CLARITY! Amazing what that little old dollar can do for all of it's cursedness! thanks, Voltaire

quote below is from ATHM thread and some of the posters there agree. With the demise of ATHM's cable lock, anyone still holding that stock has got questionable judgement anyway! :0)

CDMA is not AM. Wireless is not flawed. Since the poster points out that the reception on his radio is different at night I will assume that he is discussing an AM radio. The propagation changes at night and distant stations and interference are received. AM radios were developed decades ago to have extremely low cost receivers. They have very poor rejection of interference. CB radios at that time were also AM radios and had similar problems. Cellular systems use higher frequencies and "better" modulation schemes to reject interference and distant transmitters. The rapid increase in the number of cellular towers reveals the success of the wireless system. Cellular systems allow reuse of the frequencies and only get swamped when the service provider does not install enough base stations.
