Very true Warren, and I too even know by heart what I have
in memory too I never look down, BUT there is the odd time
there is adjustment and that remote time can be all it takes
late model or the latest toy.

Me too, the dangling trucker mic, yet the cabbie's mic is
on a extension that retracts to the left, in any case
in an accident the missles fly, Some of the old steel
case mics from the comerical radios being heavy are
perfect missles, and who wants cause of death, as being
clunked by one's own mic.....bummer.

There is progress and I can use an example of this emergency
radio bit, as well another here in an exercise where there
was supposed to be a "team" of 5 show up....only one showed
and we wondered what he was doing...he explained he was
"observing" and the other "5" were home, checking repeaters
via the Internet. After a period of silence there was
just laughter. They obviously missed the point of
the exercise. In a real happening, they were thinking
that a certain area of Canada was blacked out and cutoff
yet it wasn't as they were wireless cpu to where they
needed to go cutting out the Amateurs.
> Er, maybe you were thinking of Queen?
NO....Never got her on my cell that I don't have, and
she never called me.
