Anyone have the time to run down Nextel and 800 radios..?

Wondering....

How do radios incorporate into a Nextel system?

Will the reband screw that up?

What are the pros/cons of using an old MTX810 on Nextel, vs
their own phone device??

How's it work without a keypad, phone or just repeater type use?

Can you tell there's no 800 systems within miles of me? LOL.
thanks!

Uh...

You can't use an MTX810 or any other Privacy Plus/Smartnet/Smartzone radio on Nextel's iDEN netowrk, period. What you may be thinking of are Nextel-owned Privacy Plus SMR systems, in which case that's between you and the shop that puts radios on their system.

If there are any 800 PP SMR systems still up in your area (there haven't been any in Houston for years), rebanding will probably kill them off.

They shut a SMR off in Western Nebraska. It had local law enforcement on it and they still shut it off. I don't see them keeping them on the air because cellular phones have taken most of community repeaters and SMR users away.

that would appear to be "epistaxis secondary to hypertension, due systemic response to visual stimulation"

True, but once you get 'em to the ER it becomes
"Systemic overload related to hypertension exacerbated by visual stimulation as manifested by bilateral projectile epistaxis."
LOL...

...I could use a good nosebleed....

Heh, 50bux says he was in the hospital 2 days prior and they sent him home in the middle of his concurrent heparin/warfarin changeover, and he was still taking his daily ASA as directed on top of that.... posterior vessel pops and oozes forever... can't do iodoform on the posterior either, ya gotta do a balloon cath for a couple days. He must've been puking clots and coffee-grounds too... sounds like a blast!

Oh,
And there was this MTX810 radio, and it turned out to be worthless... and it gave me a nose-bleed.
Motorola radio, that is. MTX... for content, you see.
