Interestingly, on my 6100 all it takes is the 'clear' key to exit the
test screens. Maybe it's the particular software version I have...
T61VZV02, unless it's actually being left hanging in some strange mode
by doing this (though I haven't experienced any problems yet.)

Re: Test Mode Code List
Yes it was cold, wellcold for here maybe 55 degrees. I know 104
sounds highand it only hit that enough to register in the Nokia
delayed readout,but many of the calls wer hovering around -100db. This
phone just hung through the dips,i doubt any discernable boice call was
transfered at this level. But I did record it all on my home
answering machine and there were numerous dropouts but no disconnects
for the whole drive down this country road. Seems like there is some
kind of timer that keeps the call loop open even through terrible
connections for a few seconds. That's all I can figure. There's no way
I can initiate a call at levelseven closr to 100. Around 92 or 94 db(
I'm guessing) is the least amount of signal a call can be originated.
But it holds even when there's some buzzinggoing on or there is dead
silence for a second or two.
I'm dying to have a little phone "shootout" with some v710 or E815
Motorolas, the other proclaimed reception kings. It would be great fun
to see who's phone could make receive and hold on to calls all from the
same location in a (my favorite?) fringe test spot. Everything else is
fairly cut and dried as far as ratings, but reception is so variable
(even with the same phone) and difficult to measure the very BEST
phone, when it comes down to those extreme fringe situations. I'm
convinced, only a direct comparison of at least a half dozen test calls
would be required to reveal the "Best" fringe reception phone. Certain
"other" phone users (none of the VZW users here might tend to
exaggerate and then believe their phone has the best reception after a
few other users of the same phone start believing there phone is the
best signalperformer because it has "4 bars signal strength". Imagine
the bragging rites to best reception phone!

Nike missiles were not nuclear, they were rather large anti-aircraft beasts
tasked to defending the cities against nuclear-laden Russian bombers. There
was a site less than a mile from where I live. The site was abandoned
several years before I was born, but the structures, both above and below
ground, remained until it was made into a park (called Nike Park) in the
'80s.

There were some nuclear Nike's too. The idea was that you would be willing to
do =anything= to prevent incoming bombs from reaching their target. Including
using your own nuke to blow up the incoming bomber or missile.
I had occasion once to have a long talk with a couple of the guys who ran the
Nikes up in Marin county. Since they had to take out incoming bad guys, the
nuclear Nikes that they ran were did not have all the fancy interlocks and
were freely retargetable. They mentioned that, in theory, they could have
taken out San Francisco in a few seconds, anytime. The Army tried to be
=really= careful about who chose for their missile crews.
See "Nike Hercules" at http://www.nikemissile.org. (I note that that
organization is based a few blocks from my house here. Probably the same
fellows!)

I saw nothing in that link or in my searches to indicate that Nikes
were stored in "silos". Rather, they were stored horizontally in
underground magazine racks. I think Larry's confusing it with an ICBM
silo.

In 1953, when I was 7 years old, my uncle was in the Army and stationed

White Sands was testing the new Nike missiles and during the time we were
living in this tiny 8x35' trailer cooled with a swamp cooler in the
desert, they shot off two of them. At the time, my uncle convinced me
they heard I was coming and shot them off just for me...(c;

Those look exactly like the magazine rack covers on the other pages.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't all Nikes require an erector for
launch?

If you want defensive nuclear missiles think Sprint and Spartan.

If its a matter of semantics that's one thing but he called them "silo's"
and these are called "silo's" and I can get you a plethora of web pages
that call them "silo's" also.

that you are going to argue with make sure you don't put your foot in your

Oh really? With Larry, it's always a matter of semantics *and* of
fact. BTW, from that site you referenced:
"This technique contrasts with the popular notion of a missile "silo"
in which missiles are stored inside of a deep vertical well in a
ready-to-fire condition."
So it appears they don't even consider them silos. I've seen a bunch
of websites by people claiming to be abducted by UFOs, but that don't
make it so, does it?
