No. "Mobile phones" is an entirely separate service, running in the 152 Mhz and 450 Mhz bands... this is what we had BEFORE cell phones. :-) I was a "Mobile phone" dispatcher when I was at university... 1970 - 1974. :-) Best regards, Jer/ "Flight instruction and mountain flying are my vocation!" Eberhard Yes, you're quite correct in what you say about the old 'Mobile phones'. I was the chief (only) tech for a small communications company where we installed 'Key telephone systems' and Mobile Car Phones', BUT I was just pointing out that the cellular phone companies 'now' call them 'mobile phones' (again?). I have a brand new handout sheet here for the kind of cel phone that I'm interested in exchanging for my present one...remember that I said NEW handout...it calls them 'mobile phones'...I'll scan it and email it to you if you cannot take my word for it... -- -Gord.
