Default iPhone for Landout Retrieves - US

Cell phone coverage went down the tubes with the phase out of
analog. Analog towers have been fitted with digital transmitters, but
the problem is that analog signals keep working, though poorly, where
you'd be "out of range" of a digital cell. Same as digital TV. With
analog, you could have received a picture which might look like ant
races, and noisy audio. With digital it's black screen and nothing.
Dave and Eric, the best thing about an i-phone in a motor glider is
that you can keep the Darth Vader theme tune on it, playing it in the
background whenever you transmit. My friends want to fit my 26 with
something similar.
