<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well just about the time I understood Cell
Operation, I learn some thing new. At one time Cell mobiles were only
allowed to have an antenna with max 3db gain even though there were 5 db
antennas on the market. Also, mobiles ran 3 watts while hand helds were
600 mw. I never could understand why 25 and 50 watt base stations were
used. I realize that duplexers and multi couplers have high loss at 800+
but that still does not account for the difference. In the digital world,
what is the usual power level difference between hand helds and the
bases?</FONT></DIV>
