DCT-3 recycling as walkie-talkie
Anybody thinked to use old Nokia phones as an "profesional" talkie-walkie ?
All that is required is an new ... SW ( and a lot of work of course )

advantages:
- good HW with good RF part - power 2W
- graphic display, full keyboard
- cheap
...
- once is implemented to one phone model it is easy to work in all DCT-3 series...

some idea/steps:
- lock phones to one free channel, user selected...
- use some test cards that has disabled encription algorithms... or use custom algo for encription...
- trick the phone sw to work without net presence... to work full time to an single channel in reception/full mode...

I can give for this project: some doc, sw and phones to test for this project, ftp space, my experience ... only for developers team at the begining...

I will start this after 14 days ( if anybody is interested ) when I will return at work...now I'm in holiday
- first I will try to use netmonitor & service sw wintesla feature to see how/if is possible...

anybody interested ?
