Hi Maurice Right, so uplink/ downlink @ 2GHz for G*. Same for PCS CDMAOne. OK. What about GSM? The only place I get appreciable attenuation on my GSM is in double steel door lifts in high rises. Is that the same for PCS CDMAOne? If so, GREAT! Your comments: "Globalstar up and down links are in the 2GHz range and while these aren't as good as the 820MHz range for building penetration, they are the same as the 2GHz PCS which is being widely used for terrestrial cdmaOne service. Also, the angle a satellite looks down on a handset will mean in building use is dodgy at best [until there are 100s of Globalstar satellites at which time there will always be one peeking in the window]. Outdoors, reception will be even better because people on the ground are screened from terrestrial cellular base stations by silly little valleys, buildings and trees while satellites are above it all." Sorry but I find these contradictory. Reception in buildings is good because because it is the same as PCS CDMAOne, but it is dodgy at best??? Oliver
