Cell phone question [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Allan:

Look for a phone that has as an option a "professionally installed" car 
kit.  These accessories have a holder for the phone that connects the phone 
to an antenna you can install on the roof of your vehicle.  For the 
Motorola I have installed the Model S9950 car kit.  It allows charging, 
hands free operation (which I believe is safer) and the antenna connection.

Also, when I upgraded to a newer Motorola phone, I was able to use the 
existing electronics and wiring and only purchase  new hang-up cup.  There 
are also building mount cell antennas one could connect to the cable from 
your phone for even better coverage if you are stationary at a remote site.

An lastly, voice recognition dialing is very handy.  It allows you to keep 
your eyes on the road.  I am using the Motorola V60P as of now and it works 
pretty well.
