Interference

[harley092355]

Here in the city of Shreveport we have a good analog 800 system---here is my problem: I can have a good strength indication on my radio and seems like if there is a cell tower between me and the tower I am using it becomes pure static---Is it cell phones towers, microwave, or all the above?? Is there a way to pinpoint the exact cause????

THANKS

Does anyone know the frequency range of NEXTEL?????

iDen Digital in the 800/900 MHz band,.. but there are changes comming in the 800 lineup,.. they have to leave the 851-860 part of the band and help all Public Safety move from 866 up move down to 851-860....and Nexthell is getting a huge chunk much higher in the 2GHz range. Now that Verizon has dropped its legal fighting, this will be happening pretty soon. This should eliminate interference from Nexthell. **We hope**

also note that as soon as the TV stations leave 700, public safety will move in

Nextel

The govt agency where my son works just gave everyone nexthells in an attempt to replace a uhf system for service dispatching. They got the phones for $.99 each and the contract is for 1 yr. (I don't know how much)

Anyway, I am amazed how crappy they work. If you are in a bldg, they work about 50%; If you are in or near the bsmt, forget it. The delay would drive me crazy also. It's a good thing they kept the uhf because the nextells are going back when the contract is up.

My old Startac using Verizon works way better--
