(www.imagef1.net.nz) Although this concept was a hybrid of "citizens band" and telephone technology, the first true cellphones were about the same size if not larger, despite the use of solid state technology. And don't be rude about the model, she could be your grandmother! Expand the image to read the text. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

However, dead or alive, she could even be your mother (for older members) or great-grandmother for younger members. provided you are willing to admit to being decended from convicts and kangaroo shaggers. Must have been prevalent in Victoria, boy those Aussie Rules guys can jump! Cheers Billy 8-{) :eek:	Billy T (70)

But that was just a CB transceiver, and a logical consumer product, with no conceptual advances. Even smaller handheld tranceivers were used towards the end of WW2.	Graham L (2)
