Until last year, the best way to pump out a cell signal on the fringes was an old Motorola analog flip phone. Remember those? Three watts of unapologetic ionizing radiation. And you could put it in a pillowcase to whomp bears with, probably without damaging the phone.



At the risk of being called old again, does anyone remember the Motorola bag phones? Now there was a bear whomper!

Not to mention five watts of power. Here in Texas, the farmers resisted the change to digital for so long, their phones just finally quit working. Local carriers kept the legacy system going for several years beyond their original cut off date because the farmers/ranchers just wouldn't give up the old mounted phones in their trucks. Those old unite would get a call out much farther from a tower than the newer 2G and 3G handsets.
