I will need to put a cellular phone in the grady to meet the
new comercial requirements. Any recommendations as to brands, features
or installation.
Thanks,
Capt Bruce

| 962.1 | Skip the "marine" ones | SUBSYS::CHESTER | Mon Apr 06 1992 13:48 | 16 | |
You have two basic choices here. The "marine" one and the other kind.
For marine read high price. For the other shop around. I bought one
for $100 two years ago. So far no problems. I never have permately
installed the phone. So I can take it out and use it in my car. The
only thing I did to was to add 12 outlet in the cabin and a "marine"
cellular ant. Works out to P-Town.
Nice to have the CG # programmed in. This year Nymex will support
the *CG for emergancy calls just like the *SP for state police.. Much
better response and you don't have to compete with the "bluefish
report's" on 16.
Buy the cheap one and put it in the cabin.

| 962.2 | The Uniden does me well | MR4DEC::GSHAW | Mon Apr 06 1992 15:10 | 8 | |
I like the Uniden. I use a Transportable because I can use it between
my car and boat. I found the antena attached to the unit works quit
well at sea. Uniden also makes a good Ship to Shore.
You can buy one at the Cell One stores for under $100.00 if you
subscribe with them. I would suggest you get the $26.00 subsription
(forgot what they called it) because the rates on the weekend is very
low, and thats when you would be using it the most.
Good luck

| 962.3 | I'll second that !!!!!!! | SALEM::PAPPALARDO | Mon Apr 06 1992 17:18 | 7 | |
I'll second the Uniden. I have the portble CP1500 with Cellular One
service. The off hours and weekend rate is alsmost 50% less.

| 962.4 | New regs? | DNEAST::OKERHOLM_PAU | Tue Apr 07 1992 08:42 | 9 | |
Re .0>
Bruce,
I haven't got the details of the latest changes to the commercial
fishing safety regs. I let my National Fisherman subscription lapse and
don't remember getting anything in the mail from Uncle Sam yet. Could
you summarize the requirements? I'd appreciate knowing what I'm
violating...cuz I'm sure there's no way I can afford to meet them. :^)

| 962.5 | Try Leachmeire | AKOCOA::LIBBY | Tue Apr 07 1992 11:28 | 19 | |
I have ordered a unit from Leachmeire, it may be a uniden, but for
$29.95 on sale, who cares what brand it is, if it doesn't work I'll
take it back and up grade. It's transportable, which means it is a
single unit includeing antena, but needs a power source.
Now for the good news Cellular One has a plan called the "Leisure" plan
for $29 monthly. peak rates (7 am to 7 pm week days) $.50 per min, off
peak (7pm to 7am week days, weekends, and 4 named holidays) no charge.
the coverage area is from Portsmith NH to the cape, includeing
Nantucket, and the Vinyard, but does not cover all of Buzzards bay. It
also goes west to Worster.
Currently my monthly long distance charges from Salem NH to Lynn and
Haverhill run about $35, both of these are local calls by Cellular, so
I have the potential to save money on the deal, and have a unit for the
car and boat.
Leachmeire has a rate sheet for Cellular one showing the calling plans
and the coverage area.
