I'm looking to contact Michael McMurtrey in WA about his canopy repair. Some how we don't have his current e-mail, and the phone number we have isn't working. Can anyone have him contact me here at Apex? 951-940-1324.

Thanks,
Peace,
K

(((cough))) or calling your friends...(((cough, cough)))

Hey we all know how unreliable that phone of his is
Gabe

buy him a Nokia 5140 its all great

About phones did any of you guys play whith nokias "push n´talk" option? should be like a walkie on the mobilenet(working over gprs= mobile net)sadly none mobile provider in DK takes this

Several years ago I knew some jumpers were talking about trying to get a bunch of us together on a PTT type connection. Imagine sitting at work in Tennessee and hearing your phone "there's a bust going down in California..."

I guess if you had the same code as the jumpers in california it could happen,but atleast you would have news up front

As i understand you can turn the things into codes,and limited users that way you could iliminate "scanners"..

I was thinking of it as more of a positive thing. You'd be able to keep everyone informed of BASE related things (like hot objects) really fast.

You could have group codes for your crew, everyone in your area, everyone in the country, etc.

exactly,it could even be used in a wally or a high cliff here arround me and still have a regular phone(and gps in my case =Nokia 5140 whirth the gps sheld,testing at this point).

it also would make it cheaper to make a "call" over the pond

I guess if you had the same code as the jumpers in california it could happen,but atleast you would have news up front

huh? i dont know that product,sounds like somthing you buy in walmart(i guess)

Nextel is the name of the wireless provider in the states that first offerred the PTT option. It's expanded to some of the others now.

Oh crap, you know about wallymart? That's just not good!

Who was the one that poisoned your mind by telling you about walmart!?! We need to strangle them.

I've got a 5140 and was considering buying the GPS shell. However read that it really saps the phone's battery. Don't fancy arriving at the exit point to discover my phone is dead.

I'd like some feedback when you've tested it please.

it dont eat THAT much ill say 1/4 more than usual if you use the GPS alot.
I always have full power on my phone as im on at exitpoint by myself,i seems to rember once were i couldnt contact any at some point(myself to blame not the phone).
