- Recently I had a request from a friend in Brazil to get him a
- phone-radio system here in the US that he could use to connect a
- remote place in a farm to his phone at home, and the rest of the
- world.
-
- I have never heard of these kind of systems before that are
- essentially a phone <=> radio <=> phone kind of link, and that allows
- one to install a phone on a remote place, with distances up to 60
- miles, so I went on the search for some information.
-
- Then I learned that there are some companies here that sell these
- systems (mainly manufactured in Japan); that they are illegal to use
- here in the US; and since them I have been in touch with a couple of
- companies that sells these systems: Phone Masters and Megatronics
- International; both of the LA area, but getting information on these
- systems and on their reliability has been hard.
-
- For example I have not been able to get the answer for the simple
- question: What happens if there is a mountain in between? Does it
- only get worse? Does it work at all?
-
- Where can I get some information on these radio-phones being sold in
- US?
