Mr. Big: I agree with you, but, would old fashioned wireless work better? For years I have been under the impression that the old fashioned wireless systems used the atmosphere, not line of sight, for transmissions. Thus, were better in remote areas that had less relay towers. Now I have found that I was wrong, the reason the old fashioned wireless systems worked farther is because of power. The radios and or towers were more powerfull, big battery packs and bigger towers. Since cellular, old SMR wireless, Nextel proprietary all transmit by line of sight, it seems that interference should be a normal occurance. But, what do I know, I'm just a numbers guy, I'm a letters guy too, if I can use a spell checker. The answer, make enough money so that when frustrations happen, you can afford to take them out on the phones, throw em, kick em, break em to bits, then show em to customers while wearing the green hats. I hate green hats.<VBG> Not cool looking.<VBG> I leave you with this thought. Rule #1. "Don't take shit from inanimate objects"....it's bad enought you have to take it from people.(customers) Keep warm Al G., often hot under the collar.

Yikes your experiences with Nextel are Terrible. I wonder if this is being repeated in many places. Heard someone talking on the radio about all the trucking business in his area using Nextel phones and being happy with them. Are they affected by less than perfect weather? Doesnt sound good. How can the stock do well if the product isnt reliable????? And do you expect anything great out of NRAG? (I bought some as a lark since it was only 30c but now its 20c.) Gorgeous day in the Southwest. Dreammmmmy weather. Freeus
