Cell Phone

My cell is a Sanyo 4700 running through the Sprint PCS network.

    Don, sorry to hear about your plane, this happened the other day to a club member as soon as his cell, don't know if it was when the rang or after he answered it, he lost control of his plane, transmitter in left hand and cell and trans in other hand, he was just flying a trainer and it broke the nose off behind the firewall, I got there just after it happened, so I suggested that we do a test if his planes radio still worked, I called him on his cell from mine with the exact same results when he moved the cell about 4 foot away the problem stopped moved it closer and he had no control, because of this our club has banned cells from the flight line, and suggested not to have in the pits.
    Real sorry for your loss.

  Max,

  Now that is pretty strange. What type of cell phone was it? See if the make and model type are the same between Don's cell phone and your friend's.

  The fact that it stopped when you moved the active cell phone away, indicates to me that it was the cell's transmitter function rather than its receiver. This in turn means that the repeater station is probably not the cause
