[aprssig] The D700 and a Samsung Cellphone

[Brian Riley]

A few weeks ago I had a strange series of phone calls from a number  
of acquaintances and family members. I was getting calls from people  
saying Sara's (my wife, W1SLR) cell phone keeps calling me and when I  
answer all I hear is a radio in the background; nobody talks to me. I  
spoke to Sara about it and she had no idea what was going on. So we  
kept track of things and here is what we pieced together.

   (1) Vehicle is a 2005 Ford Focus Wagon

   (2) radio is a Kenwood TMD700A, wired directly to the battery  
through appropriate fuses and a Rat Shack 20 amp rated line filter.

   (3) cell phone is a Samsung A650 with an "iGo" cigarette lighter  
plug charging unit

   (4) the problem only occurs when the phone is on the charging cord.

   (5) every time the D700 pops off a position beacon (3 minutes) the  
cellphone, if idle, first goes to the calls received list, and the  
next beacon after that, dials the most recent entry in that list.

   (6) the same phone on the same charging cord in my truck, a 1992  
Ford Ranger, with an identically set up D700, has no such problem.


  Huh?????
