Have an emergency and your phone won't connect? Inexpensive
EPERB's are also available.

However, a response will probably take awhile. The system isn't
like 911. <br>

have no idea what is inside, but by looking at the shape of
the antenna dome, the phone may have a steerable dish antenna

I looked it up after folks mentioned that on another list.
They <br>
started the bidding at $50. There have been no bids. I
wouldn't pay <br>
that for it now that I know the main problem. Also I looked
up the <br>
manual. The "Ethernet Port" on the device is misnamed, it's
the same <br>
type jack, but only used for updating the device. I will pay
some money <br>
for an interesting gadget just for the pleasure of spending
some time <br>
taking it apart.<br>
