Re: [CGUYS] Android feedback
so far so good with software for it ...speed is fantastic ...motorola overlay makes it great as the homescreen has a carousel that access everything ...I'm hooked!! I have had windowsCE devices for years (ipaq 3635, mobilepro770) and a palmIIIc which made me realize palm OS is a joke ...I love this fone and for the money it's worth every penny... we'll see if 6.5 comes out for it On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 10:05 PM, mike xha...@gmail.com wrote: Well I'm glad you like windows mobile..you are probably one in a million.

Re: [CGUYS] Android feedback
so far all is good, except vendor failed to give the 2gb microSDhc card which came with software, but on a website I found the installer it had and put it on ...included motonav but I am having trouble getting destinator maps recognized on it even using the patcher...gps works fine with google/bing but I want the full talking gps ...I will prevail !!

[CGUYS] wifi waffles me
I am having an interesting foray into wifi abroad. I got wifi and wireless tv from Belgacom and their modem (ASDL) gives great signal to my x31 with b/g when next to it but in the next room (less than 25 feet away) signal is abysmal ...no external antenna on their modem ...walls are concrete block. What can I do? -- This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end --TheDoors * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Computer gadgets in cars
tell that to the majority of imbiciles on the road ...they think the mirror is for putting on lipstick or hangin trophy underwear...

But I can mount it very low on the left so that it's just a couple inches from the near edge of the dash. It's near, so I can see detail in the tiny screen, and it mostly blocks my view of the dash. I'm something of an expert driver and during some periods of my life I've put on a lot of miles, (I used to drive truck) but I prefer not to rely on the training my brain has and detest anything blocking my view. I think things dangling from the mirror are particularly stupid. When driving a vehicle, the only things moving in your field of vision should be other vehicle and the road. But that's just me. rleesimon wrote: The brain will train to see ahead with seemingly unblocked view despite objects in the way ...extrapolation and parallax compensates ...however, there is still a blind spot which is not really seen and it would be worthwhile to remove such objects to save one little kid... -- This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end --TheDoors * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

danka shöen merci graçias dank u well On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 9:24 AM, Tom Piwowar t...@tjpa.com wrote: Where is the problem here? 1-antenna, 2-amplifier, 3-secondary-amplifier 4-the boogie man? If the antenna is old enough to have lost some elements you probably have corrosion problems at various terminals. So you want to replace or clean up as much as you can. Corrosion will attenuate the signal significantly. A wire brush can work wonders. Then cover the terminals with Silicon Chalk to keep them dry. Your coax cable could also have failed if too much moisture managed to get in under the insulation so you should inspect that. Coax is not that expensive so it may be worthwhile replacing it just on GP. Especially if the cost of getting up there is significant. I assume your antenna will have a rotor so you can fine tune its position from a comfortable arm chair. To be most effective your amplifier should be right at the antenna. Every foot of cable will attenuate the signal a litle bit so you get the most benefit of having the amplifier right on the mast. Some antennas come with an amplifier attached. Power to the amplifier is provided through the antenna cable using a power tap located at some convenient spot inside the house. A signal meter is a big help and many digital boxes include an on-screen readout. The meter on some boxes will work even on stations that are too weak to display a picture. Figure out which of your boxes will do that.
