Yes it does. Analog is at power ALL the time. The digital is on in a
"pulse" fashion sending out bits and turning off as much as it can.
Analog to digital conversion takes place and then it compresses the
DATA just like in a zip file, and booms it off.
It is off more than it is on. Plus there are more power levels I
believe in the digital phones than the analogs. It keeps transmitt
power as low as it can and is changing that strength like crazy.
Its magic.

Hey blind man. Guess you did not read the message you got when you
joined. Are you like a check valve? You can go one way but not the
other? Or a rectifier?
Then there is the note that is just above this writing, that is on
EVERY MESSAGE.
Maybe you can get someone to translate it to braille for you.

"Cogito ergo doleo" is Latin for "I think therefore I'm depressed."

Yes, those lines say a lot - at least I like em:)

Just went through Hell week getting a passport renewed on an emergency rush
basis. And No, I didn't do anything dumb like let it expire!
Seems that some countries (New Zealand for one) require that your passport
remains valid for several months AFTER you leave their country, or they
won't let you in. Even a valid outbound ticket won't satisfy them! I almost
missed it, caught it at the last minute in the fine print on the ticket.
So, if you're planning an overseas trip better double-check for this booby
trap while you still have time to get a renewal on a Non-rush basis.

CAKES? Did I hear, CAKES? errrr, my birthday is the 29th of April.
Back in 1979 it was, a sunny spring day in Kansas. The type of day
that brings the masses to the heartland, not too hot nor too cold.
Since that beautiful day, many lives have been brightened with that
delivery. The Speedo company really appreciates my partnership with
them since so many have bought their products due to my modeling
skills.
Y'll just bring cards for me, the XL250 won't hold many gifts. Many
thanks for your birthday wishes.

I'm glad I waited for the end of this discussion . . .
I believe the difference is that analog (AMPS) uses the 800 mhz band and
digital (PCS) uses the 1900 mhz band, and there's a difference in signal
propagation between the frequencies. The internets contain more debates
than you could shake a stick at about signal propagation in big cities
among buildings, in the country through trees, etc. And yes, there's
some 800 and 850 mhz digital service, which shouldn't have a significant
difference in propagation from 800 mhz analog. Then there's the factor
that older AMPS phones often put out more power, but spread-spectrum
CDMA digital signals can often keep a connection through interference,
at low power levels, etc.
Without getting too deep into the technological debate, I started this
by saying that Verizon shows their analog (800 mhz AMPS) signals not
travelling as far as their digital (1900 mhz CDMA) signals at a specific
location that's on the far side of a hill from the tower (the tower
being not on top of the hill, but on the far side of the hill, meaning
the hill is between the tower and my location). If you disagree, take it
up with Verizon's engineers, they get paid to know a lot more about cell
phones than I do.
