That's really too bad, too. The old POCSAG code coming out of 12 500
watt Quintron beasts on the same frequency had seriously more range and
better coverage than any cellular and had amazing penetration in
buildings and tunnels.

I get a kick out of hospitals with 'NO CELLULAR PHONES' signs all over to
protect patients and monitoring. Too funny. We had 4 UHF and VHF beasts
right on top of the building blasting a constant stream of high powered
RF into the buildings so all the doctors' pagers would have SOLID
coverage, even in lead-lined rooms in radiac. No heart patients knew the
difference. One of the UHF transmitters was on the 800 Mhz paging band
very close to the Sellphone band.

Those were great times. Every prostitute in town was our customers...
