    New option for folks who ONLY have cell phones

    It connects to a cell phone via bluetooth and the user dials out from the Dect 6.0 handset instead of the cell phone. Very similar to high end in-car built in blue tooth devices, there is no need to touch the blackberry. In turn, ALL handsets act just like they would if the system was connected...

    New option for folks who ONLY have cell phones

    Off the landline grid? Check out the "AT&T TL92278 DECT 6.0 Bluetooth Digital Expandable Dual-Handset Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Answering System." It’s a viable option for people who are off the landline systems and using cell exclusively. Not a bad option for folks who have both...

    Would you mix radial and bias ply tires?

    Plagiery from THT follows: Here is a quote from the Michelin web site -- " If two radial and two non-radial tires are installed on a vehicle, the two radials MUST be installed on the rear axle and the two non-radials on the front axle." and the RMA web site --- "When two radial tires are used...

    "Wilson Sleek" Cellular Repeater

    I thought he wrote that the Wilson techs said the Sleek would have no separation problems at all but the higher powered unit like yours needed the 12-15 ft. separation. Hey Pete, that Adapter # 97119. I couldn't find it anywhere on the Wilson site. Do you have a URL where I can get it or are...

    "Wilson Sleek" Cellular Repeater

    A "Cantenna" might, though the ability to keep it focused on a cell tower while mounted in a C-Dory increases the complexity. Google Cantenna. I've played with Pringle can versions for WiFi and they do work well but IMHO they're a kludge and aren't really suitable for anything permanent...

    "Wilson Sleek" Cellular Repeater

    Indeed it should work, Pete. LOL. Doesn't have to be large, just grounded (maybe). Doc, gotta remind you, a vertically polarized antenna doesn't receive or transmit for s*** off the ends. Especially in the gigahertz range where power losses are measured in inches of separation (well...

    "Wilson Sleek" Cellular Repeater

    Well, if I were the experimenting type, I'd get the Sleek, mount the antenna somewhere directly over where the holster is mounted, and cross my fingers. The Wilson antenna with radials creates somewhat of an electronic shadow directly below it. Then power it up. Green light yer in. Red light...

    "Wilson Sleek" Cellular Repeater

    No. As sold, the Sleek looks like nothing more than a nice looking (albeit a little thick) phone holster. Very cool looking. It has a couple of extra "arms" for fat phones or odd size phones and a dash mount "kit" included along with a USB to mini-USB patch cord for a power connection. It also...

    "Wilson Sleek" Cellular Repeater

    Wilson Sleek user report: I was not aware of the Sleek until I saw this thread. I had been looking for a modest retransmitter that could be used both in my RV and on a boat. My first test was in/on our Lazy Daze, an aluminum skinned RV using the existing rooftop cell antenna. Works great...

    A sign of the economy...

    Big boats yes, Mike, but not C-Dorys, even here in San Diego and despite the factory fiascos of the last three years. The C-Dory has a cult following just like the Bertram 25/26 do. You'll drop over $20k or way more for a 1966 through 1980 Bertram under 26 ft. IF you can find one, while NADA...

    King Saltwater Double Axle Trailer - Bearings Part Number?

    Don't come cryin to me, Pat. I can't get there right now. Mom is in Palliative Care and it's a zoo around here. But I do remember there are only a few "commonly used" bearings and they go by diameter. West Marine is actually a good spot to check in an emergency. It'll cost you more but...

    The "New" Old Fifth Wheel

    Hey Pat, izzat your truck? If not, I have a 5th wheel tailgate for a Chevy truck that I'll trade for a healthy bar tab credit at yer hobby brewery.... I know it fits a 2001, so if it fits that year, it will fit a bunch of other years. Don

    The "New" Old Fifth Wheel

    Ahh nephew, finally you listen to yer geezer uncle. Alpenite's are great. I had a 29 and towed it some 16,000 miles without a glitch. Patty will LOVE the little trap door that opens into the basement storage area. We stuck a basket under it and it was our "dirty clothes" hamper. Don't...

    Shelves in place of the ice box in a 22'

    Jeff, the 22 came stock with a door and shelves where the reefer is located. Your toughest job is finding material like a door and the shelves in matching stock without paying an arm and a leg and your firstborn's lifetime earnings. Marine Decraguard ain't cheap! My shelves were mounted at the...
