35Mhz Fixed Land Mobile () - Private Mobile and Public Mobile. I guess it is still assigned for Mobile Communication. Maybe the system that use to dispatch Taxi?

 

Same as 150Mhz /450 Mhz - Public Mobile / Private Land Mobile / Person Radio - This one seems to be the walkie-talkie you could buy from store [RadioShack]?

I think coverage was better back then on analog.... Especially with antennas and 3 watts for power!

 

I wish there was a way to have phones built in cars again.. Then switch over to the portable.. With a way that would gain signal strength..

The reason this all occurred in Chicago was that Bell Labs largest offices were in the Chicago Western Suburbs.  It was the most convenient large city for testing.

 

There is some interesting information about the history of Bell Labs on Wikipedia.

    • My s24 Ultras auto updated to April 1 security patch over night. Not on wi-fi.  Play system remains at March 1. No notice that update occurred on screen.
    • Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active. My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update. Diags sent while n38 was displaying.
    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
