I don't recall any 1.2w limit on bag phones. The typical Motorola AMPS bag phone was exactly the same radio as the Motorola mobile phone. I had both and they were both 3 watts. Even the name is "3 watts". <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Bag_Phone> <http://www.motorola3watts.com/index.php?cPath=21&osCsid=5dfe0e700d641749366ef5eecbd968c5> <http://www.3wattgurus.com> I still have a pile of junk from those days including a few phones. Want a bipolar PROM NAM burner? >You recall wrong. Circa 1992-1994 you could buy a 3 watt bag phone. >I'm told that circa 1990 you could buy a 5 watt bag phone. My memory isn't perfect, but I don't recall any 5 watt bag phones. There would have been considerable advertising value to offering the most "powerful" phone. There were plenty of MTS and IMTS phones, belching 25 watts, but that was much earlier: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improved_Mobile_Telephone_Service> In the late 1980's, I was selling $2,000 OKI mobile cellular telephones on the side. 3 watts maximum. More old bag and portable phones: <http://www.samhallas.co.uk/van_toorenburg/transportables.htm> I have one of the Audiovox portables (2nd from the bottom) and a Radio Shack portable in my collection. I use them for show and tell talks on cell phones. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
